DOWN IN THE PARK plus 3D!

Hey there!
Here comes a piece which took a very (very, very, very) long time until it's finishing. I wanted to experiment a little with drawn layers and this is what came out. Since my beginning in spring I drew the different layers of the background, made horrible cutting paths in photoshop and composed the whole shit over the last days. Oh, and the 3D-version took some more days of my life. Although I've done some 3D-photos I've never done a 3 dimensional drawing. The main problem were graphic errors when combining the layers to the single stereographic positions but after thinking of the problem in my sleep last night I solved it today. Enjoy! If you wanna see a pretty good example for another 3D-illustration check out the artwork for LOS STRAITJACKETS' "Supersonic Guitars In 3-D".

The title's from Gary Numan and there's a fantastic cover from the FOO FIGHTERS (block your proxy), too. Check'em out!

Cheers, Robert

BROKEN FACE.

Hi!
Here's another one where I play with digital light (yes, I'm totally
addicted to it at the moment). There's not that much time for drawing,
this month, so this is kind of a speed-painting, haha! The drawing's
created in our rehearsal room while we listened to Jamiroquai's
"Deeper Underground", we actually have to cover (we made a little
cover contest on our band website and Jamiroquai won the race
against QUEEN's "Under Pressure"). Whilst the listening our main
light bulb fucked up so we only had two low lights with which I had
to draw... The coloring took one hour between work and gym.

The title's from the PIXIES. Pretty cool song! Enjoy!

Cheers, Robert

PENSÉE DES MORTS.

Happy Halloween!
This one goes out to all the those who have the worst nightmares all night.
Dreaming of the zombiecalypse, crashing airplanes, getting mauled by some
undefinable animals, exploding in a microwave and so on. This one's for you!
And here's the soundtrack!

Ah, the picture's made with biro and digital colours.

Cheers, Robert

POWERLOAD.

Another one!

Fuck everything that causes war. Better have one or two beer! By the way,
listen to DISFEAR.

Peace, Robert

SMILE.

Hey,

here's a picture that reminds me of my youth, when I was kind of a social autist
(like the most of us, I guess). The title's stolen from LAGWAGON, try searching,
I just found shitty live-versions...

Cheers!

SILVERFUCK.

Voilà!
I give you a new piece which is named after that fantastic song by
SMASHING PUMPKINS. Simply drawn with my biro from work
whilst our rehearsal on friday and fast colored on sunday you find
here vivid lights on a pale body.
Oh, and there's a fucking great song called "21st Century, Where
Can I Get A Fuckable Little Grungette?" by the Norwegian Stoner
Band THULSA DOOM. Check it out!

Cheers, Robert

BURN BABY BURN.

Waaaaah!
Is anyone knowing Irish Rock Band ASH? Their great "1977" record
from 1996 includes some of my favorite all time classics like "Lose control",
"Darkside/Lightside", their huge Hit "Girl from Mars" and even the funny
hidden track "Sick Party". If you ever wanted to listen to a Teenager puking
competition, you'll find it on that record. My picture illustrates the song
"Burn Baby Burn" from ASH's 2000 record "Free All Angels". The song
was a single, I don't really like the title and the shitty video - it's lamer than
lame! But I'm totally in love with these emo-lyrics like:

Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognize
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide

I always have these words on my lips when I'm on my knees (especially
on hard mornings at work). And so I decided to pay tribute to this pretty
depressed song. It's done with graphite and a conceptual color scheme
(check out the determination below). I hope, this picture will burn
your eyes out!

Cheers, Robert

HOME.

Hey!
My blog is actually getting fucked by a bot. He's wasting all my sensible
statistics but I think he really loves my stuff. In the meantime he's
"Visitor of the month" and maybe I should give him a name... something
like "Giftmüllscheisse". So, thank you Giftmüllscheisse for reading my posts!

My latest post is a contribution for a sketchbook campaign by the German
Illustrator's Organization. With the character of these silly chain letters we
had when we were young, a sketchbook was sent to every illustrator who
was interested in a contribution. I never passed these awful chain letters on
but I did with the sketchbook. Maybe I'm grown up now or these letters
were really unfunny boring shit...
Well, the theme of this sketchbook was "Home". I received the book with
a delay of nearly 15 weeks one day before my vacation week in the
Netherlands began. So I drew this picture in my "holiday stress" far away
from home in a business hotel nearby the North Sea. The drawing itself is
fast and chubby  with biro and watercolor. This image is only photographed
because the hotel only had a copier from the stone age (see black and white
picture below) with an ultra-horrible scan quality!
For this picture you can listen to the Song "Home" from one of my favorite
British Bands FEEDER. The sketchbook can be seen on the book fair in
Frankfurt/Main this October.

Rock on, Robert

YUCK FOO & LAUDATUSSI.

Good Morning!

Whenever I get bored of waiting for my bandmates, I use to draw. I usually
wait for my bandmates, so I usually use to draw. This time I had no paper
and no other chance than beautifying the selfmade release-show-poster of
Wuppertal's local bands MR. THROWASTONE and SOMA. Hope, they
don't kill me, haha! Next rehearsal's today, I'm exited to see what my hands
will bring to the paper - own or foreign, doesn't matter.

Cheers, Robert

ALL ALONE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE.

Yo!

Here's a small one. It's a birthday card for a family member done with biro
and watercolor. And no, the person didn't turn three ;)

If you want, you can watch the video from LOST IN THE TREES where
the title's borrowed from.

Cheers, Robert
