This Friday!


I (Hank Armadillo) will be DJing and probably be taking requests in exchange for beer.

Metropolis

Fritz Lange's futurist masterpiece, which is a prophetic vision of a post-industrial land where the plutocratis live and play in the beautiful city, while the working class toil in the grimy subterrenean underground.

Sketchbook Drawings: Chinese New Year

I know, I know, the Chinse lunar new year has already passed, but I got inspired to sketch these drawings out and build off of them.

1) 2011 is the year is the year of the metal rabbit, which I gave a black metal treatment. Not inspired by Donny Darko.




















2)My Chinese astrological symbol, the metal rooster (or cock, if you prefer), also given a black metal treatment. Not to be confused with Abraxas, the Gnostic deity.





















Sketches were done with a BIC, then the outlines and fills were done with Faber Castell 4 PITT.

Blizzard Beasts

Survived the most extreme blizzard that I experienced since moving to Chicago in 2001. Immortal and Emperor were playing in my head the whole time I braved the frostbitten grimness of the blizzard to go home the night the storm reached its peak, most especially during the thundersnow.
