CNN / HEADLINE NEWS: When Gene Simmons isn’t performing with KISS, you can find him painting

And we’re not talking about his music.

The co-founder of KISS spoke to CNN about how he began painting during the Covid-19 pandemic as a hobby to decompress, and, now, he’s actually selling his artwork.

“My family and I were up in Whistler self-quarantining and staying away from people and I went into a warehouse and I’ve always doodled all my life since I was a kid and I never painted before and I wanted to see what would happen. So without qualification, resume or experience, I ordered paints, canvases, huge ones … and just went to town, never thinking anybody would like it or or even care.”
