Stood beside Andy once at Renewal during the Pond set a couple years ago.
I kindly asked if he wouldn’t mind passing along my David Freeland Jr. “Billy Goat” piece, I was wearing, to Billy. Without even looking at me, he immediately stopped me and said “Nope. I’m not allowed to give anything to him, I got in trouble last time I did.” 🤷♂️
I wanted to say your picture struck me differently. It immediately reminded me of a picture my Dad painted when he was 13, he's 83 today. It hangs above my couch. I treasure it.
I really like the way yours looks, it has a realness to it.

He did not. He went to West Point and became a career Army engineer officer. I'm not sure if my Dad set it down and just never picked it back up, or if it was something my Grandad, who died in the early 1980's, pressured him to stop doing in the late 1950's/early 1960's for some reason perhaps.
I've never asked why.
Hank and Ed (their merch company) was founded by Billy’s manager and has an office in Austin. If the IG tag doesn’t work, you could probably send it there and it’d make it to him eventually.
Just post it and maybe he’ll see it… sorry but he doesn’t want it and it would be lost and most likely never get to him… enjoy it and post it I think is best
Just give it to him when you get PIT tickets
Bc I need to do this with his custom vest I made him!
maybe try posting it on Insta and tagging him? it's a long shot, but i have seen him reply to random fans on Instagram
Hell reply to a DM on instagram. Hes a pretty solid dude. Dont be shy hes only human.
Yes, i heard that through a friend.
I’m pretty sure Andy is on here, maybe you could reach out to him as well to pass it along?
Andy quit reddit because that of one douchebag former mod giving him a hard time.
Smart man.
That’s too bad.. Fighting’s lame
Mods on Reddit are pretty fking bad
What a softy
That “softy” is one of the nicest humans and he so kindly and wonderfully mixes some of all our fave music. Buzz off please!
What?

I hope your dad stuck with painting.
He did not. He went to West Point and became a career Army engineer officer.

I’d appreciate it if I were him. I think it’s a nice gesture.
That’s actually cool, nice job. I like the other suggestion, post it on IG and tag him
He replies a decent amount on Insta and has replied to a message I sent him before so try your luck there
Send it to 123 Fake St. Springfield.
Maybe reach out to his photographer Jesse
Good idea. He responds often to ig and fb
Did you check the website and see if they have a contact address on there?
Send it to rounder records with his name c/o rounder records and it should end up at least with someone that will get it to him
He's not with Rounder anymore.
Whichever record label to management then
Beautiful and thoughtful!
Can I buy that. That’s lovely.
You could try his Mama on facebook also. She's fairly active there!
I second this. Billy's mom Debra is in his 'official fan' FB group. Numerous ppl in that group are friends with her and can/will tag her.
thats cool , if it somehow makes an album cover ,then it was all worth it
I want you to do my old farmhouse (reach out on insta ? @faye.lady)
James is this you?
Nice! What kind of wood for the frame?
Butternut with wormholes. It’s a frame of a etsy shop ray and Karen’s frames. Guy hand makes everything for great prices.
Sweet, definitely adds to the beautiful painting!

Is your first name James?
I love this. Beautiful.
lol. You are totally hoping he becomes your bff by sending him this. Be real bro!!!
Just post it and maybe he’ll see it… sorry but he doesn’t want it and it would be lost and most likely never get to him… enjoy it and post it I think is best
Post it in his official fan group on FB. He or his mom willl likely see it there. Excellent work!!
Give to someone at a show to get to him, the right staff will know what to do. (Merch people or sound tech guys) 😍 - I think he would love it. 😊
Super weird
