Brevard Live
Reinel continued making music. He moved to the Tampa/
St. Pete area and formed the duo (once described as ‘love
them or loathe them’) Nutrajet. There he would team up
with drummer Jeff Wood. The band found success which
included moving to England. The move influenced Reinel
both musically and artistically. Wood’s health then declined
as a result of a brain tumor. A move back to the states came
as a result and ultimately Wood succumbed to his illness. “I
found it hard to continue playing music when Jeff died,” he
confides. He then channeled his love for music to more of
a visual side.
He started out making posters for local shows. His fly-
er designs were reproduced black and white copies for the
various concerts that went through Orlando. His ‘big break’
took place when the popular British band Supergrass came
to town to play at what is now known as The Social. “I was a
big fan of theirs partly from my time in England”, he recalls.
He brought his design; a souped up Mustang (muscle cars
would be a repeated theme) alongside a beautiful woman
(another theme) with the details of that night’s concert on
it. This time the black and white copies were replaced with
slick color silk screening suitable for framing. Upon inspec-
tion pre-gig, the band not only agreed to sell them at the
merch table, but insisted on Reinel keep all the money. The
posters sold out before the band even hit the stage.

Suddenly Reinel had the makings of a career. And a
moniker. He had given an old matress to a friend in need.
The nickname ‘Stainboy’ meant to be embarassing now
stuck as his namesake. He repeated the process of creating,

him as he pursued his own passions. “Elvis was very specific; no outside promo posters for his
18 - Brevard Live March 2020shows,” he recalls. “I couldn’t attend the show for some
reason, I don’t even remember why now. I dropped off
the posters and my HOB contact said ‘wait right here’.
Not too long after, Elvis came up. He said he loved the
poster. He said he was told that I couldn’t come to the
show that night so he invited me to soundcheck. Instead
of just being a fly on the wall to observe, he had me shout
out songs that they would play.”
This new enterprise of incorporating his love of mu-
sic and cars alongside his artistic abilities soon caught on.
Local FL gig posters became client requests for shows
all over the globe. Reinel was now traveling all over the
states to festivals. A chance encounter at a show in Or-
egon led to his greatest release to date. Dark Horse Books
wanted to release a collection of his work as a coffee ta-
ble book. Entitled Vicious Intent, the forward was written
by iconic artist and friend Frank Kozik.
Reinel is in demand not only for the concert posters,
but album art and commissioned pieces of all kinds. To
bring it full circle, the band Supergrass are releasing a
boxed set of their work this year. Inside is a collector’s
reprint of Reinel’s Orlando poster. Finished prints of The
Devil’s Rejects have found their way to writer/director
Rob Zombie (wife/actress Sherry Moon Zombie and ac-
tor Danny Trejo have both posted on their social media
about it). A recent Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry poster had
a limited release and is in high demand.
Throughout all this career success, Reinel has relocated
back to Brevard. Living in the same Palm Bay house he
spent some of his youth in, he finds a safe haven to work
on his art. “This place has just enough trouble to keep
me busy,” he muses. A recent relationship also keeps his
interest here. He finds it remarkable that the same streets
of Eau Gallie he wandered around as a teenager are here,
relatively untouched. “I love that everything is still here,
but better,” he marvels, noting that last year’s Space Coast
Music Festival was a highlight. Last year also saw the

Reinel on lead vocals backed up by the Orlando band
The Tremolords. “That was fun, we’re talking about do-
ing something like that again this year,” he says.
Reinel’s social media presence is a great way to view
his career spanning works as well as keep up with his new
projects. “I’m involved with this collective,” he shares.
“A group of people hire me to work on a design, then
have first rights to the finished poster,” he explains, not-
ing that he is booked for the foreseeable future.” For now
it looks like he is staying put here in Brevard. “The area,
and EGAD in particular, look like something out of a
Quentin Tarantino story,’ he shares. As a recent Facebook
post suggests; “Looking forward to seeing old friends
here again and meeting many new ones…and also doing
some knockout work while here. You know where to find
me…”

ment? You might notice that “donut” is spelled two differ-
ent ways. Which is correct? Actually, both are, although
the abbreviated “donut” seems to be uniquely American.
The rest of the civilized world spells it “doughnut”. Any-
way, back to our original query, originally coined in the
1870’s the phrase was meant to mean that something was
a sure bet. A dollar was worth something but a doughnut
wasn’t. (They obviously never had a Publix bakery back
then). Originally variations included dollars to buttons, or
dollars to cobwebs, but these never caught on, presumably
because of their lack of alliteration. Dollars to donuts be-
came the bee’s knees of colloquialisms.
“Bee’s knees” was originally a farcical phrase referring
to something that didn’t exist, like striped paint or a left
handed hammer. Oh, the whimsy of the early 20th centu-
ry. During the 1920’s nonsensical phrases were concocted
to denote something was great or excellent. The cat’s paja-
mas, the kipper’s knickers, and the snake’s hips were some
of these, but none were more prevalent amongst 1920’s
socialites than the “bee’s knees”. Nothing could hold a
candle to that phrase.
“Can’t hold a candle to” originated in the 17th century.
At the time, apprentices were to hold a candle so more
experienced workers could see their work better. If you
couldn’t even do that, you were unfit to be even a subordi-
nate. It became a pertinent parlance during the 1800’s. In
1883, William Norris stated in “No New Thing”: “Edith is
pretty, very pretty; but she can’t hold a candle to Nellie.”
The phrase connotes one person or thing being superior
to another. Apparently William thought Nellie was drop-
dead gorgeous.
“Drop-dead gorgeous”, the meaning of which is obvious,
was actually coined in the 70’s in a review of a Sonny
and Cher concert. Regarding Cher, part of the revue read
“Cher, drop-dead gorgeous in a second skin of silver, pink,
purple and red sequins.” The phrase took hold and has
22 - Brevard Live March 2020been prevalent since then. Well, better move along. After
all, a stitch in time saves nine.
“A stitch in time saves nine” sounds cosmic, doesn’t it?
What is a stitch in time? A piece of a black hole? And
what do we save nine of? Neutrinos? Well, actually, no
it doesn’t mean any of that. The phrase comes from the
18th century and was written “A stitch in time may save
nine”. They might as well have said that if a fabric gets a
small hole or tear in it, and you get to it and sew it up in
time, that will save you a lot of sewing later on when the
hole gets bigger. So maybe you save 9 stitches, 9 minutes,
9 threads, I don’t know. It is still unclear what you save 9
of. That is still one of the great mysteries of the universe.
So let’s not beat around the bush.
The phrase “don’t beat around the bush”, meaning get to
the point, is one of the oldest on this list. But why is
that beating around the bush? Once again, allow me to
elucidate. First used in the early 15th century, it refers to
a practice used in bird hunting. Some of the participants
in the bird hunt would rouse the birds by “beating about
the bushes”, allowing the others to catch the birds in nets.
This is still done in Grouse hunting today. If you caught
a lot of birds, that would surely be a feather in your cap.
Having a feather in you cap has come to mean a symbol
of honor or achievement. The earliest usage of the phrase
brings us to Hungary in 1599. It seems that they were to
put a feather in their cap for each Turk they had killed. The
more feathers in your cap the greater your achievements.
This can also be seen in Native American headdresses,
where feathers were added to any warriors’ headdress for
acts of bravery. The phrase remains today as something
that would be advantageous.
There are many, many more colloquialisms in use today,
many uniquely American, that have derivations much old-
er. Some have dubious derivations, like cloud nine, han-
ky-panky, dressed to the nines, and so many more. Some-
times it’s not a piece of cake to find original meanings. I
thought it would be a lead pipe cinch, but it’s difficult to
cut to the chase sometimes. At any rate, I going to take a
break and go get the blue plate special at the diner. I hope
this compendium of euphemisms has made you happy as
a clam.
