David Bowie - Thin White Duke



More 70's/80's madness. This time Bowie's cocaine addicted 'Thin White Duke' period, during which he was said to have spent up to 3 days awake, painting, reading and recording at a time. Needless to say once he had cleaned up he had practically no memory of this time, roughly around the recording of Station to Station in 1976. He went to Berlin shortly after where he recorded Low, in an attempt to get his act together. Iggie Pop joined him in a similar practice.

David Sylvian

This time around I've drawn David Sylvian from Japan, a relatively under-rated band who's 1982 hit 'Ghosts' was popular due to it's minimalism and total lack of drums.

Kiss


What can I say? They were massive fun to draw. I'd been working on the separate images a while ago and decided I'd finally put them together. Really had a lot of fun with it.
It's been a while now since I've uploaded anything. Don't particularly enjoy being quiet, just had a lot on, enjoy!

Philip K. Dick meets Palmer Eldritch

Philip K. Dick meets Palmer Eldritch.
A couple of biographies 0n the man's life state that this really happened, but during Phil Dick's writing of The Man in the High Castle he was so strung out on amphetamines that he actually saw a giant gas mask in the sky. He believed this to be the embodiment of one of his own characters, Palmer Elditch, a malevolent God who seduces people into his own universe with the drug "Chew-Z", as shown in Dick's novel 'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch'.
Anyway, this was such an awesome image I couldn't really help myself.

Germinal Illustrations



I've been at this for a while now. It's an ongoing personal project illustrating Germinal by Emile Zola.
I've had these sitting around for a bit because they take ages to dry and I didn't get around to scanning them in for a while, but here you go.
