THE LOW FREQUENT SEA / MUSCLE'N FLOW.

Folks!

Everything's fine and yes I will not start a Google flash mob with my 40 million friends (and search for dirty bombs and shit like that). Surveillance is great...

I made two illustrations where I tried some new technique in shading. The material's my weapon of choice - biro and digital color. Enjoy!

I recommend to listen to MENOMENA and JAI ALAI SAVANT.

Cheers, Robert

ELITE.

Oh yeah, folks!

Welcome back. This time, I give you another rough and analog piece. The postural defect and the expression of the face remind a little of Otto Dix. The title's by the mighty DEFTONES.

Cheers, Robert

YOUR NECK.

Hey!

To tell you the truth: it's my neck. It's hard like a surfboard. Thanks headbanging. Ah, there are no digital overdaubs in this drawing.

The title's by ALKALINE TRIO.

Cheers, Robert

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

DIGITAL LEASH.

Hey!

Hope, you're doing fine! Here's a small doodle from my first lesson in "How To Fuck Up Digital". Just kidding, I was too lazy to scan a drawing so I made this Anakin-In-Return-Of-The-Jedi-Lookalike in my machine of virtual creation. The title's by the infamous BRONX (can't find a good version, so sing along with this).

Good night, Robert

SATELLITE NUMBER EIGHT.

Hello Folks,

hope you had a good week! Finally, we can hope for nuclear overkill (again). Thank you, dumb world. But, there's no reason to be unhappy. Here's a nice and positive picture about the Apocalypse, that's dealing with all these nuclear tests by countries that are really strong and foward-looking. When I was younger I was drawing atomic clouds on any exercise sheet in math. I even made a picture for my drawing buddy Matthew where you can see Mulder and Scully (X-Files) standing in front of the White House which's getting bombed by a nuke. Very funny! If I can dig it out somewhere, I'll make a post, haha! Ah, got it, it's from 1998! See below!


The drawing was a quickie by about 15 minutes. The coloring took some time,  cuz I wanted to display 1000 shades of violet (my favorite atomic color). The title's by NOISE BY NUMBERS.

Cheers, Robert

BLEEDER.

Ah!

Welcome for another time! I played a little with digital lights and colors and here is what came out. Reminds me of GOZER somehow. This time, I used a few colors and a straight lighting on a relative clean drawing to create a subtle horror mood.
The title's by the great ALKALINE TRIO (there's a brilliant cover of HWM/Chuck Ragan, too).

Cheers, Robert
