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

GOOD TO KNOW THAT IF I EVER NEED ATTENTION ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DIE.

Different shit, same evening!

Hello again. Actually, I'm wasting my time with drinking some cold tea and stealing song-titles from BRAND NEW. Ah, and I finished a fast drawing with a goddamn slow coloring-phase but hell, I'm over it! I made the analog stuff in 30 minutes in our rehearsal-room but colored it in different mornings before I had to go to work. I was pretty slow in spite of having several cups of coffee out of my dinosaur-cup. So I kicked myself after the last post and finished the rest of the coloring 10 minutes ago.


This image is a mixture out of Taylor Hawkins and a mutated Octopus. Don't ask me why, but octohorse is missing his pants somehow... Oh, did I tell you that the "Barbie Horse Adventure" for GameBoy-Advanced is totally awsome? Try to get it, I love it!

Sweet dreams, Robert

THE DEADLY RYTHM - RELOADED.

Girls-n-Boys!

I just had some fried cyprian cheese and am totally thrilled to announce that
my DEADLY RYTHM-illustration is currently used for the release-tour-poster
for CURCH OF CYCOLOGY, CAIN AWAKES and THE.SPINES. Okay the
last named band is my own and so it should be no surprise that my image is
used but hey, I get my shit spread all over this boring area with 10,000 Flyers
and 250 posters. Some of you may have noticed, that the picture got a little bit
pimped (for swimming on a more dramatic wave than the soft-porn-coloured
original version). Bad mood overdrive! More shit soon!

If you live in this area, don't miss the shows! Come and have some beer with me!

Cheers, Robert

WE ARE THE AUDIENCE.

Hello Everyone!

I've been off for two weeks and wasted my time with drowning in my
bad mood and sipping instant-soup. Beside I spent my spare time with
making a Shirt-Design for my lousy punk-band called THE.SPINES
(guess I told you).

When we thought about the motif, Bruno (the guitar-guy) wanted to have
a space-ship, Basti & Shaff (singer and bass-man) wanted a russian atomic
submarine, Leo (the drummer) wanted the oil-platform from our record-cover
and i wanted tentacles. So it was my (totally easy) mission to weld all this
together... and voilà: here's my Roland Emmerich-like screenplay:
An extraterrestrial spaceship crashes into the Atlantic Ocean and kills the
crew of an russian submarine. The radiation causes a strange underwater-cloud
with deadly monster-tentacles, which attack an oil-platform and so on... Maybe
there's some C-Movie-Hero (Rick Moranis or Sam Neill - what are they doing?)
who can change the tack, otherwise the whole world is going to get fucked.

The print will be a two color screen-print in the shown colors and can be
bought in March. I used a chubby blue biro. Dear Mr. Emmerich:
If you want to buy the screenplay, you can purchase it for only 10,-$.


Cheers, Robert

THIS PLACE SUCKS.

Hello!

After my warmed up mermaid a few days ago, I'm comin' round with a
brand new work with an apocalyptic taste.

When I began with the drawing I had no idea what it would be in the end
but after 30 minutes of sketching the slime I had a vague vision of a tree
and a mushroom. I really love the slime in GHOSTBUSTER 2 so the movie
can be seen as an influence for this. And maybe it will be a mushroomcalypse
that's going to fuck us at the end of the year.  I don't know where mushroom-
trees live and why they should come to earth and eat us, but sometimes things
simply happen. So, enjoy your last days with eating champignons!

Cheers, Robert

I'D RATHER SWIM ALL ALONE.

Good evening!

My favorite hobby last year was drawing mermaids. I did the artwork
for the first LP "Mermaid Parasites" of my band THE.SPINES.
For that I did a couple of mermaid drawings from tiny beauties to ugly
zombie-freaks (the usual spectrum of my interests).
And here's an alternative mermaid which wasn't used in the artwork.
After half a year under my desk I added some colours to get a creamy
underwater-feeling. The picture is a definitive homage to my last
summer-hit which you can find here:

Ah, the record will come out in March, so stay alert!

Cheers, Robert
