Nice. Seems influenced by bathroom stickers?
Thanks. Could be--the background drawing has been on my hard drive here at [undisclosed location] for a couple of years. The foreground I did tonight, in my boredom, because things are flipping slow here at [undisclosed location] what with the holidays and all. Have been digging up great stuff on YouTube--like Can from German TV in the '70s.
Did u change it?
No--it's the same as when I posted it.
YouTube tonight:
Tuxedomoon videos
Devo from 1972 at Kent State
Bruce Conner film for Devo's Mongoloid 1977
Weird Liquid Sky clip
Japanese documentary showing how a Mellotron works
The Teardrop Explodes on Top of the Pops (awful)
King Crimson "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" 1972
Mark Mothersbaugh talking about Circuit Bending for 20 seconds
King Crimson 21st Century Schizoid Man -- clips are only the parts with Greg Lake singing
Disco-era Can doing "I Want More" with dancers in blonde wigs and gold lame stretch pants
Can "Paperhouse" live 1970 - awesome - Czukay and Suzuki both shirtless (also here--louder sound, worse video, loads slower)
"Mushroom"--probably my favorite Can song--suspect the video was made later than 1970
Stranglers live perf. vids - JJ Burnel shirtless
Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin "It's My Party" (awful--the worst video excesses of the 80s--can't believe they did this after Hatfield & the North--well, I can but am still embarrassed for them)
Boards of Canada "Gyroscope" (for the video)
Boards of Canada "In a Beautiful Place" (for the music)
Atari Teenage Riot - "Revolution Action"
Clipse "Grindin"
808 State "Pacific" (1989)
Aphex Twin "Come to Daddy"
Roxy Music "Do the Strand" (The '80s were invented in 1973--and see Eno in total drag)
Roxy Music "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" (Eno wearing that feathery thing--with VCS3 and tapes on stage)
plus Goldie, 4Hero, 2 Bad Mice (didn't like those too much)
I like images that open up differently when you look at them again.
I'm glad if this one does that. Often something good happens when I haven't drawn in a while. Malevolent energy builds up. If I try to follow it with something similar it usually isn't as good. That's why I never liked that "signature style" requirement the art world has. It's never worked very well for me.
