Another Nazdrove flyer

Not much to say about this one. The person is actually me - I worked off a reference photo, thinking I'd have to change the face so it wasn't obvious. But I was a bit optimistic about my drawing skills, because it looks like nothing like me. Score! It's a 2 colour risograph print, done at Footprint the day before they got raided by the cops! Good timing. I drew the black layer, then drew the red layer on tracing paper with it all taped to a window to line it up. I drew one trumpet, taped it to the window and then rotated the paper so each one was identical. Unfortunately I started at twilight so it ended up being a bit of a race against time to get them pencilled in before dark...

A bit more detail from the original. The tshirt design is the Roma wheel, the arm tattoo is the matryoshka from here.

Nazdrove 2nd anniversary flyer

Here's a low-quality image of another Nazdrove poster I made. I've actually done another since then which I can't find a picture of anywhere. Pretty into the continuing theme of red and black printing on cream paper, with that font (Red October off dafont.com). Although I think this is on bright white paper because Footprint were out of cream and I was doing it last minute, again.

Details you can't see on this tiddle pic - Black Flag badge, 'Play Fast, Dance Dirty' on the accordion, prison hand tattoos and Romany flag belt buckle. I try and get the Romany flag into most of my Nazdrove stuff because I think that gypsy culture gets ripped off pretty much wholesale and boiled down to gold teeth-trilby hats-fast music-Gogol Bordello with no regard to the fact that Roma people across Europe are still stereotyped, persecuted and oppressed. The flag's my nod to the culture behind the music - it's not a big thing but I think it matters.

Nazdrove again

Saw this on the Nazdrove Facebook, I'm taking it as evidence of their success rather than one person's comment on my integrity. Went to the Xmas Nazdrove last Saturday that I drew the Russian doll poster for, all the posters put up around the venue got nicked which was rather nice. Awesome night too.

Nazdrove poster #2

Pen and ink and cut and pasted text, and a little bit of collage.

Drew this over the weekend, and printed it with alot of help from Footprint in my cellar on Monday. Pleased with how it turned out but a little bit intimidated by the quantum leap of using two colours rather than one, after years of drawing flyers for photocopying.

Nazdrove poster #1

Pen and ink and cut and pasted computer text (dafont.com I love you). 11/08

-These were the original ideas that Nick emailed me... I apologised for adding in an androgynous punk hottie, but I think he's used to it by now.
