January 2008



Stay tuned for the spin-off series Donwood, featuring graphic violence, strange creatures and sexy lyrics! (They don’t want to be your friends, you know.)

…well maybe not. But unfortunately I might do another, more epic Doctor Who parody in the future.

Notes: Whoa, long entry! Yes, it’s full of dumb jokes that may make sense only if you’re familiar with both Radiohead and DW. And yes, those are supposed to be Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. Thom is hard to draw! So is the Tardis. Nevertheless, this was a fun piece to do.

That was the day they played that intimate secret surprise gig in London. Oh well.

Or maybe just an excuse to draw a robot-man tearing a smiley face in half and spend way too much time colouring it.

(When it comes to Atlantis to Interzone remixes, I really like the one by Crystal Castles. Good stuff.)

This post is dedicated to my friend who’s in the US now.

Amy Wino looks like a troubled Gogol Bordello dancer. (No offence to them Gogol girls, they’re amazing.) Maybe it’s the scarf-thingy, without it she… still looks weird.

Richard Ashcroft’s crop and dye job truly shocked me, can’t even draw him now! The Jesus-hair looked so much better.

Bottom row hair-don’ts: Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, he had blonde hair ages ago, but I thought he’d grown out of it. Apparently he hadn’t because the peroxide mess came back for a while around… 2006 was it? Post-American Idiot anyways.

Then there’s the “Black” Parade-era Gerard Way, not looking too happy. Well I wouldn’t be happy either, looking like that. (Crudely drawn or fake blonde, or possibly both.)

And of course we have our precious Pete Doherty in 2007. Is there anything wrong/stupid/downright dangerous he hasn’t done yet?

Come on, I liked the fluoro tosh that was the biggest joke of 2007! So what if new rave was just a piss-take, who cares? If the boys would only come here I’d go to see them, even if they’d play, dunno, hardcore acid-folk with bagpipes.

Well, apparently Danko didn’t mind the crowdsurfing male blow-up doll that attented his Eastpak Antidote Tour gig (mind you, I went there to see Gogol Bordello), it’s great that Rufus got his own show rather than warming up for Sting, but who cares about the BSB anymore?
