Pyramido and Graveyard is the new black

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.
