WE ALL FALL DOWN.

Hey dudes!

I'm sure, you don't want to know that I'm trying to use every empty minute
in my life to keep drawing. It's a pretty simple rule but sometimes I have
to push myself through the comfort of the after hours. How do I kick myself?
The unfinished pictures lie all around my flat and (!) on the front passenger
seat of my car, when I drive to work. They're always on my mind and they're
begging to get finished! So, I have no other chance than finding myself at
the kitchen table or the desk wasting the evenings with drawing ugly
creatures. By the way, this circumstance is the perfect condition for my
eye circles.

For my recent picture I kicked many of my daily lunch breaks at work.
I usually have a 30-minutes walk, but the last days I used to drive with
my car to a quiet place and rocked the paper.

The title is lent from I LIKE TRAINS which come around with a new
album these days.

Cheers, Robert

WE'RE THE CAUSE OF ALL YOUR CORNFLAKES.

People!

Another week's passed by and today I give you real eye-candy!
When I started with "...CORNFLAKES", I wanted to illustrate the
schizophrenia everyone's dealing with. The idea came up when I
saw the video to SHORTY's "Coopie N' Me" where singer Al Johnson
works as clown on children's birthday parties and as stripper. The
story is perfectly underlined with Johnson's fantastic face that looks
like a mixture of Bell's palsy and insanity. Got the metaphor?
Everyone plays different roles in different situations and that's what's
glowing on your screen right now.
As you can see I was very stuck with details again but it was worth
the fun! They took me several hours on several places with my recent
(and favorite) biro while the coloring took just four or five hours.

Leave a comment and get me some pizza!
Cheers, robert

SETTLE FOR SATIN.

Freaks!

Hope, you had a good weekend! Unless you live under a rock you may
have noticed that the days are getting longer and the sun is shining
sometimes (don't worry, deep in my heart there's an endless darkness
that could swallow whole planets). For these reasons I'm gonna throw
out a tiny spring-picture realized with my recent black pizza-biro. This
time I decided for an obsolete analog coloring with fucked up and powerful
water-colors to draw the spring onto your screen! don't get eye-cancer...

Slayer would kill me, if the knew that I want them to have pink T-Shirts
so, please please please don't tell'em!

Cheers, Robert

LIFE LESS FRIGHTENING.

Hey there!

Details, details, details! It's the end of the week and I'm coming out with
a new drawing (finally!). This time, it' s a very scruffy image with a "classic"
color-scheme. It took me five light-years in a parallel universe to pull this
one up which included a very long conception-phase and an even longer
coloring-phase. Too bad, no one will (and wants to) see the tons of alternate
color-versions I made cuz they're all total trash and would cause serious
injuries. So, feel save with this feel-good-picture of the month!

The image is named after a RISE AGAINST song and I don't know why...
but the hairline of that creature reminds me of Captain Janeway somehow.

Cheers, Robert

DISCO SUCKS FUCK EVERYTHING.

Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen!

If somebody wants to know if I have bad dreams sometimes: yes, I have.
I usually dream about tiny yellow creatures with chunky teeth that
definitely drink too much of a shiny pink mixture so that they get a
massive paranoia. And they start believing they get hunted by tree-like
monsters from the earth's core. The whole thing's done in 30 minutes in
our reheasal-room with ca. -20 degrees while the coloring was done in
my headquarter this week's mornings from 07:15 to 08:00. And, trust me:
If you ever dreams like this, you'll get up that early and draw, otherwise
you're a worker with no chance to sleep 'til afternoon, start the day with
champagne and throw out five pictures per week.

Yellow, Robert
