illustratedwomeninhistory:This weeks Illustrated Woman in History was illustrated by Jabe Nicholls @xeros-junkyard , who explains her choice below. It is featured in the second issue of the Illustrated Women in History zine which you can order here. “I chose Poison Ivy from the Cramps as I recently got into their music and as a guitar player I wanted to find out more about her playing but there just wasn’t much around. Turns out none of the guitar magazines etc at the time took her seriously. I read one interview where the journo was talking to Lux Interior ( The singer) , finished his interview, hung up and started typing it up. Then the phone rang and it was Ivy “ You had a guitar question? ” and then he did a second interview where Ivy just talked about everything guitar cause no-one had actually asked her before. I think because she’s not technically flashy, but that’s what I like. Also she was co-writer / producer and her & Lux created a new sub genre ( Psychobilly) and people are hating on the rock'n'roll hall of fame cause they ain’t in it - they’ve influenced a heck of a lot of Bands, Queens of The Stone Age & Jack White are two I saw mention them recently.” -- source link
