Trying to draw again...

A friend in need

Been helping perpetually procrastinating Tom Rob with his art history essay, he'd doing Storm Thorgerson, he of the Dark Side of the Moon spectrum and the myriad of crawling girls on Giant's Causeway for Led Zep's Houses of The Holy, gorgeous dad rock juice.



He also did the cover for the incredible Mars Volta's De-Loused in the Comatorium, Absolution by Muse, and some funky shit for the legendary freakshow P.Gabriel, and some other cool beanz.





I don't really like his stuff, but like Tom Rob have an appreciation for his obvious mad skillz in his creations, they have this evocative weirdness that is blatantly idiosyncractic, you can spot one of his a mile off.



He tends to do multiples, and melds obscure juxtapositions with even more incongruous situations... all very surrealist, and yet using photography, questioning reality in general, and evoking MC Esther and Dali, noice one.

Also, I love trees.

I ♥ My Dad. More than anyone.

Ferg, you know what I am thinking!

Off to Bishopthorpe Road...

A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.

Trying to emulate Anselm Keifer...



I'm doing a project on the Holocaust, using Metzger's praxis as an influence and messing around with what ink can do.

The obligatory, hilarious llama for Esther, the light of my life.

Ericailane

Finished my epic art history essay today, after listening to This Town Needs Guns on repeat about 50 times, my sanity is back and to celebrate I'm laying off the theory for a while to focus on the aesthetic delights of illustration.



Ericailane is a cool Italian kid active in an art collective in Bologna, and has an awesome ouevre of etchings, graphic art, animations, sculptures, installations, tattoos and drawings.


One Dollar Small

Obviously inspired by Victorian children's illustrations, his work is surreal and oddball, not quite kitsch, cute or adorable as wee rodents illustrated gorgeously usually are, but anthropomorphic to a point where they become acceptably macabre.


Lepus timidus

Sewing

Referencing Orwell's Animal Farm, sneaky foxes endeavor to stab in the back and tailored rats risk shock amputation for a dollar bill.



But if I'm going to be honest I just covet his skilled illustration, and whilst trying to get my own mad skillz at drawing reinvigorated, I find him an inspiration.
