PHYSICAL STUFF - THE.SPINES

Hey!

Here is the materialization of some of my visual output. The band I use to play in THE.SPINES have new shirts an a music casstette of their recent album "Mermaid Parasites". The shirt is available in fair trade (petrol) and unfair trade (orange) and uses a design, which can be seen here. The tape is handmade by the Benja from the nice and friendly label/mailorder 100 Kiloherz. It's limited to 50 pieces in pink and green including a download card for the mp3s. So visit our show ;)

Cheers, Robert

SLIPPING AWAY.

Welcome again, folks!

I believe that we'll go straight to hell like the girl in my new piece of work. As you can see, I'm totally stuck with these nuke clouds again. Yes, I have these visions of a nuclear apocalypse in my head frequently and with a mixture of fear and romanticism I draw these pictures.
This time I had my focus on a diversified and fine shading to create a dreamlike scene. For that reason I simply used my 2B, 4B and 8B pencils and finally, there was no reason to color this thing. Hope you like it, otherwise.. you know...

The title's a NINE INCH NAILS song which is to find on their fantastic "Things Falling Apart", one of my all-time-favorite-records.

Cheers, Robert

CLEAR THE AIR.

Hey humans!

Here's another one. For the coloring I used a photo from my trip to Portugal this month. I totally love these complementary colors in it so I adapted them to this bust of an ugly creature. All in all I kept it very simple, just made a super light glow round the silhouette, and now, there's a thing that looks like a melting Homer Simpson.
The title's from OFF WITH THEIR HEADS which have a super cool video for that song.

Cheers, Robert   

FIGHT OR FLIGHT.

Hey dudettes, hey dudes!

After an almost quiet month you get a new piece out of my BRAOWBABOOM-Studio. The drawing itself has the same age as my romantic nuclear-octopus-image but finally I found the time to color it. My intention was to settle this Art Nouveau-guy in the undergrowth of a secret forest on a fresh morning. So I experimented a little with colors, contrast (see the worms) and wasted some time to balance the digital light. The title was, like the picture itself, accidental. While the drawing came out of the blue I just had 5 seconds to name it. In my playlist ran THE LEVELLERS so I simply named the picture after one of their songs. Not a pretty innovative title but for me it's suitable.

Cheers, Robert
