Crossing Borders

Here's another of my (many) favourite pics. It shows androgynous model Andrej Pejic and model Rick Genest (a.k.a. Zombie Boy) photographed by Colin Singer.
What I like about the pic is probably the slight sense of absurdism, which is overshadowed by some kind of serenity and some kind of... I don't know what it's called in English, but it feels like even though it's a bit absurd everything in the picture seems right, you know. It just works.

David Sylvian

Just love this picture of singer David Sylvian (Japan, Nine Horses). I don't know why. Don't know who the photographer is either by the way.

Roaring Twenties #2

Here's a drawing I did after a tattoo I found on the internet. Unfortunately I couldn't find the tattooist's name. I'd love to see more of his/her work, so if anyone knows who made this design, please let me know! ;)
The colours of the actual tattoo are much darker than the ones in my drawing, because skin's darker than white paper - obviously. The colours in my drawing are darker than in the pic by the way. I took the picture in our kitchen and the light there is really... pale.

Roaring Twenties #1

Hi everybody! I haven't published anything for about a month, sorry about that! I've been quite busy the last couple of weeks, so I haven't really had time to draw. However I did do a traditional tattoo inspired drawing of a ''roaring twenties'' girl. As you can see I tried to keep everything as bold and minimalistic as possible (well, the colours at least). I want the hair to stay white, but I still don't know what colour to give to the hair ornaments. I kind of like it this way, but it seems a bit too white. Like I forgot to colour it or something... Ideas? Opinions? Please let me know!

(P.S. I know the quality of the picture isn't too great, with the tile floor showing and all. Plus, you can hardly see her skin colour (light pink). When it's finished I'll make a better pic..!)
