Happy birthday Trent Reznor! Here’s my third art from NIN eras series I started to draw last year, now it’s The Downward Spiral art. And here are two previous arts I posted on @amadeux earlier:

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross but make them Tapeworm members

I'm so fascinated by the lore of Trent Reznor's defunct project Tapeworm that I decided to get an old sketch out of the bins and bring it to mind. Initially, it was just a simple Trentticus (kinda) art in a gentle Y2K-ish style, but the ways of my imagination are unfathomable, so in half an hour I turned a drawing into a faded page from a fictional music magazine O.X. Music Press.

FOR INFO: Tapeworm is a now defunct supergroup made of Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Danny Lohner, Josh Freese, Jerome Dillon and Charlie Clouser, Tool and A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan, Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo and other guest musicians. Be Kind To Them is the name of one of the unreleased Tapeworm songs, after which I named the potential album. In reality, the band never released any records, and in 2004 Trent announced that the project was done.
