This is the new design for the Pyramido hoodie that will be sold on their tour in April. The print will be on the front in a bloodish red. Inspiration here is a spinet case from around 1550 in the fabulous V&A museum.
And this is a concoction by Pyramido, merely passed through the Anna- filter. Quite a tasteful filtering though. The bird on the pot is what we in Sweden call a "Kaffegök". The word is generally associated with little old ladies, cookies, crocheting and booze, or in this this case very, very old men with the same attributes.
To my utter delight I was asked by Graveyard to make a poster for the Manchester gig on their tour with Horisont, starting tomorrow. They have a different poster for every concert, made by different artists. Among them Alan Forbes!
The issue here was to keep my ambitions, and thereby angst, on a reasonable level. After the obligatory artistic agonies and a couple of killed darlings, this is what I came up with.
The letters are essentially theft. Otherwise it's a knot of monsters and demons at each-others throats, including Kerberos ( here deprived of one of his heads in a little homage to Roky ), his Norse counterpart Garm, Marduk, a chimera, a basilisk, a cocatrice (also being hatched by the toad) and Jörmungandr, all being played by the instigator Ratatosk and all in a Bilibin- inspired frame.
There are 50 printed and they will be sold at the gig. Yay me! /A.
