Saturday 01.05.2013 , Posted by

David Maclennan Dead Like Disco 1

We’re certainly grateful for all these dead. David Maclennan’s excellent new series, Dead Like Disco, features a host of famous musicians who “passed away before their time.” Obviously the collection includes Buddy Holly, Jim Morrison and Jimmy Hendrix… all musicians who left us in the prime of their genius and before they could fully give their musical gift to the world. Maclennan has done the series in a cool skull-based style fitting of the subject matter, but each is detailed in bright colors equally fitting of these artists and the creative spirit they embodied while alive. In their famous hairstyles we catch a glimpse of some of their more famous lyrics. [Read more...]

An Explosive Rainbow of Bright Skulls

Wednesday 06.06.2012 , Posted by

Javier Gonzalez Pacheco started drawing skulls when he was just a kid, and with all those years of practice he’s gotten really, really good at it. His latest creations, both digital and hand-drawn, feature the macabre object in a host of interesting and colorful situations: inside the helmets of space suits, morphing into tape decks, exploding into wild psychedelic swirls and patterns. It all sounds a bit random until you see the engaging and unifying style of his very rocking work. [Read more...]
