Neon Park (1940-1993)

Born Martin Muller, the late Neon Park was an artist who became famous around the world for his striking designs that graced the covers of nearly every Little Feat album in existence. Park loved to apply his keen eye for surrealism to dogs, ducks and inanimate objects that he would bring to life. In addition to Little Feat, Park also created art for Frank Zappa, David Bowie and the Beach Boys. He met his wife, filmmaker and painter Chick Strand in the early 60's in Berkeley California. The pair lived together in both Los Angeles and in a small town in Mexico for over 30 years. You do not have to be a product of the 60's or the 70's to recognize Park's iconic design that has become synonymous with the eclectic sound of Little Feat.

Sadly Park was diagnosed with ALS in 1992 and died a year later at the age of 53. Loved by thousands, Little Feat has used their notoriety, fame and cult following to strike back at the disease that claimed their friend much too soon. Using every available opportunity on their tours, Little Feat has helped to raise much needed awareness for the disease and thousands of dollars for cutting edge ALS research and services.

In the liner notes of their album, "Ain't Had Enough Fun," the band says "we dedicate this project to his memory and promise that as long as there is a Little Feat record, there will be a Neon Park work of art adorning the cover." The band, true to their friend, have been true to their word.

Now, Little Feat and their management company, Deep South Entertainment, are asking fans to join them in their fight to defeat ALS.
