Here’s the sketch for the @nickcaveofficial VIP tour poster. They were only available by purchasing the VIP package. I’ll have my ARTIST COPIES available on my site SOON. Since i’ll only have a few… I’m making them available to my newsletter subscribers first - as a thank you for all the support. So yeah… ***Sign up for my newsletter at brianewing.com *** When the management and promoter contacted me they were specific that I don’t draw anything too dark. Considering what has been going on with Cave’s personal life - I understood. I wanted to distance myself from the #anatomical style I had been running with for the past few years - which I used on the 2014 poster I did for the band. That stuff is too dark. Plus, with all of the tattooing I’ve been doing, I wanted to show people (aka prove to myself and my #selfdoubt) that I can draw. The management asked me to write my ideas instead of sketch them and they would then pick the idea they liked best. That was actually fun. Some of the ideas that didn’t get chosen were used for other posters (or will be soon.) #neverthrowawayyoursketches We narrowed it down to a few ideas and then finally they went with #NickCave pounding away at a typewriter as if he were playing a piano. Since he’s an author and a musician it made sense to me. Happy that they liked the idea. I don’t do likenesses too often so I’m very happy that I nailed it right away. My good buddy Brandon @a.sinners.heart was in town so I recruited him to pose as the rest of Cave. He’s tall and gangly too! For better or worse, I work mostly in my sketchbook before transferring the drawing to bristol board. I’m clumsy and I’ll lose anything that isn’t chained to a cinder block - so that’s why I like working in a #sketchbook. #MichaelKaluta once wrote a great essay on why sketchbooks are important. You should look it up! #illustration #detail #nocureuncover #brutsubmission #design #darkart #colerasepencil #sketch #sketching #inking #nickcaveandthebadseeds ##nickcaveandthebadseedstour2017 #pushtheskyaway #deanna #lovelycreatures #crowjane #boatmanscall #letlovein #murderballads #janglingjack #goesyackityyack

Here are a couple of dazzling panels from the prequel “Starstruck” serial he illustrated (it was written by Elaine Lee) that ran in Heavy Metal from November 1982 through July 1983. Starstruck went on to be a Marvel graphic novel and has also been published by Epic, Dark Horse, and IDW. Kaluta was attracted to Heavy Metal in part due to his admiration of Moebius, an influence that is abundantly clear in this art.

Happy birthday to fantasy illustrator and comics artist Michael William Kaluta. His best-known work includes The Shadow with the late Denny O’Neil, and “Starstruck,” which was serialized in Heavy Metal in 1982 and ‘83. Kaluta, Barry Windsor-Smith, Jeffrey Catherine Jones and Bernie Wrightson made up the famous collective known as The Studio. These are Kaluta’s illustrations from the 1994 JRR Tolkien calendar. . #kaluta #michaelwmkaluta #michaelwilliamkaluta #michaelkaluta #jrrtolkien #middleearth #thefellowshipofthering #thetwotowers #thereturnoftheking https://www.instagram.com/p/CEVEGfRFg8T/?igshid=1fgup2in8qtce
