Colorare Humanum Est

We initiated a new series of book to be coloured, and we are really proud that this series start with the Great Marcel Ruijters, who fund a very good title!
The idea of this book came after Marcel's residence here for a show about illumination I did with his drawings. The ideal will be a complete book about this work but for instance we do that for peoples could make their own colouring.

This was for us first time with homemade silkscreen, & also first time we used offset print from our neighbor. We plan to make other books like that with other great artists...

We sold this 10euro, it's 24pages for 21x21cm.

Ljuba Popovic and Annie Haslam

 Ljuba Popovic has a really underrated output of fantastical art, you can find a lot of the same images across lots of blogs and galleries (do an image search) but none are very comprehensive and I couldnt put together a very good bunch of links because there is so much scattered overlap. But THIS gallery has a lot of his brilliant lesser known art.

 Annie Haslam is best known as the singer of symphonic folk-prog band Renaissance (who I'd probably say were in my top 5 prog bands) who have the advantage of sounding less dated because they mostly used folk instruments and orchestras instead of the technology most of the other bands used at the time (although they fell prey to the fads of the 80s and regretted trying to keep up with the times and have recently had a reunion going back to their "true" sound).
 But Annie Haslam is an amazing surreal painter capable of some realy gorgeous otherworldly fantasy. 1 2 3  . I'm wary of putting some art on blogs if I think the artist takes copyright far more seriously than I do. You'll just have to take my word for it that I'm not wasting your time.

 I've got tons of links that I've built up for a couple of years. I'm not sure how often I want to post them, for the variety of the blog. I might have finished my own current piece of art in a few weeks. It's been a year since I finished anything!

Fish dish

This is part of a series of design for plates for the same restaurant as where I am planning a mural. This one should be seen as a print for an oval dish.

I had been thinking of doing a story based on Saint Jacob who went as far as preaching to the fishes, who naturally flocked together to listen of course. That is how it goes. Not so sure whether I am going to use that one for my book of saints' lives. It might be just this picture.

The mystery of Jacula / Antonius Rex

I written here a complete overview of Jacula/ Antonius Rex that I thought was sorely lacking on the internet, the band seems to be full of self perpetuated myths. If you like scary pipe organ playing, castles, churches, graveyards and the myth of Transylvania, I urge you to get the first three albums...

Jacula- In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum

 Jacula- Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus (the version without the newly created track "Absolution" spoiling it)

 Antonius Rex- Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex

...they are three of my favorite albums ever. Their later stuff is extremely patchy and usually lacking in the qualities that make these three albums great.

 Here is the first track of the first album to get you started...

TBL TALK

First 3 pages of a new comic for black & gold. Maybe risograph-destined.

SUPPORT for true underground artists needed!

!BE A PART OF DIABOLICAL PLAN!

What's the Story?

Greetings everyone! I'm Shaltmira, graphic artist from Lithuania and here's my diabolical plan:

There are no old& strong zine releasing traditions in Lithuania so I decided start making changes in this wasteland - I started to develop the idea of releasing extraordinary zine with weird, dark and shocking artworks in summer 2011. I came up to ideal of calling it EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM!  I invited fellow artist from Eatenbyducks blog to participate, also posted open call for collaborations in my website and my Facebook page, and also I have written to other interesting artist I know, from Lithuania as well. Now I have all the artworks and interviews and the process of preparing layout for publishing already started (thanks to my dear friend Kristina Alijošiūtė, who agreed to help for free!) and going to be finished until the 1st of February 2012. Then all the material will go to publishing house. Everything needs to be completed until the 9th of February 2012 because I want my zine to be presented in Vilnius Book Fair, which will be on February 23 -26, 2012 (thanks to "Kitokia grafika" for invitation)!

Why???

I'm into propagation of  weird, grimy and nonconformist art and to I want to make a great stir in Lithuanian underground art culture with my own released art zine, also to help for Lithuanian artists to communicate and collaborate with other great underground artist from abroad. Now I have collected artworks and interviews / self - introductions from these great artists:

1. Aleksandra Waliszewska
2. Martin Bladh
3. Marcel Ruijters
4. Kristina Gentvainytė
5. Alkbazz
6. Simon Andersson
7. Manuel Pereira
8. Wiley Trieff
9. ZIGENDEMONIC
10. Si Clark
11. Crippa Almqvist & Zeke S.Clough
12. Gaspard Pitiot
13. Vctor Dvnkel
14. Arturas Rozkovas

and also there gonna be my artworks + a short fiction story written by Aeron Alfrey.

What Is Needed & What You Get

With your help in February 2011 we will have A5 black & white art-zine EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM in our hand! Featuring 50 original artworks of 15 different artists from all over the world, along with their interviews / self introduction texts and also one piquant short story!

Since artists donated their artworks for free - I only need money for my zine publishing.

All sponsors and businesses donated 20 USD or more will get a free copy!

If I don't meet this projected goal  - my own money will be used to fill in the difference (since I don't have much...I don't want to sell my kidney!)

Rich Hours

Dinnertime! A sketch for a mural in a rather alternative eatery, which I will be doing next month. Not such a large one though, about 3,5 meters wide. But it will be fun to do. Updates will follow.

Pang Olle!

These drawings are the first 2 pages from a 19-page comic called "Pang Olle", that i made around 1977-78.
I've also included them in a yet unfinished 24hour comic from 2010..

Hey Hey Hey
The surface of this earth is a moving organic & uncompleted bodies, some humans try to appear but they are almost already dead... Fun uh ?

Dr. Mothwurm

Dr. Mothwurm claimed an inability to locate the source of the contagion.

The vagrant

The back cover of my 39-and-a-half-th sketchbook. Done in 10 minutes.

Uncommercially viable and NSFW

New puerile fantasy drawings with bold colors. possibly for screen print. possibly for 2012 prospectus. No edit function is the key.

Up From the Mire

Hello hello.Yes, it's been a while, but not by choice. I've been away, toiling in the murk and mire of the lower depths, breathing the banal stink of one million cubicle farts, yearning for escape, itching to hatch my sallow-skinned spawn upon you once again. 

So, yeah, thanks for the invite, Aeron. Good to be back.
