Sketch for the @Buzzcocks poster for their @riot_fest show last month. More info here http://bodega.brianewing.com/rock-posters/ This was supposed to be for a different #BUZZCOCKS show but life and #tattooing and #conventions got in the way. Thankfully Lou @garage_land let me use the idea for a different date. I had been looking at a lot of old comic book covers and trying to see where to go next as far as style. Comic book covers are great because they are basically rock posters - but(t) smaller. I really enjoy the weird dramas they try to convey, the crazy colors and the way they handle type. Especially artists like #JohnRomita the same guy I was praising when I posted the #QueensoftheStoneAge #poster. I had no idea what the fuck I was going to do. So I tried to make life more difficult by peeling off all of the skin on the lady. That really hurt my brain because…well…I find drawing that stuff difficult to do. I’m happy when it’s done but I’m a big baby while I hafta figure out how to make the #anatomy work. I wanted to take the original idea of the cover in a different direction. And yeah I was looking at a lot of #CharlesBurns the quality of his #inking is what I strive for in every piece I do. This poster took twice as long to finish because I wanted to really push myself in a new direction. It’s painful. I complain and whine. But I’m hoping that pushing myself further will make my work better. Or I’ll just crawl underneath my drawing table, curl into a fetal position and rock quietly while I guzzle some tears. #PMA all day. SWIPE to see the other sketches. ALL orders will ship Monday. #DeadlinesRuleEverythingAroundMe Gonna announce #FooFighters and #AgainstMe! soon-ish. Finishing up a project and my #halloweenflash right now. #バズコックス #SINGLESGOINGSTEADY #ピートシェリー #theBUZZCOCKS #peteshelley #riotfest #riotfestchicago #romancecomicbook #detail #brutsubmission #whatdoiget #orgasmaddict #ineedcoffee

This is what radio prep looks like! Lots of 45’s and 7” records all spread out to remind me of what I actually own! I don’t pull these out often but I do realize there are some gems in here! Tune in tomorrow (Friday morning) from 7 to 9 am on the Give the Drummer stream on WFMU. Lots of lovely crackle and pops! Thai, African, reggae and some deep indie tracks! And while you are at it, go ahead and pledge to the show!! #45rpm #7inchrecords #singlesgoingsteady #wfmu #radio #africanmusic #thaimusic #reggaemusic #underwaterthemepark #givethedrummersomeradio https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ubyonH0rQ/?igshid=6mic60g12qk4
