A painting of Annie by Dan Grayson. Here’s what Dan says about the inspiration for the painting: “Being in Los Angeles, the home of Giant Drag, I have had the priviledge of seeing them a number of times at more intimate venues. Among those who know me, it’s no secret that I think they’re a great band, but besides that, I think Annie has a great charisma about her. She’s got something special going. I hoped to capture at least a little bit of whatever that is.”
