Hi,
Ohh well. No Mani ... I'm gonna call him and tell him that you are a stinky artist!
(He's probably gonna ask me if you got Gene Krupa in there!)

Thank buddy for the great words!!!
I am a huge fan of Salvador Dali, Roger Dean, Hugh Syme ( RUSH albums) and Storm Thorgerson( Pink Floyd) work to mention a few and the most important ones. I just love the idea of playing with my imagination and the style of my heroes. I had done painting and Illustration in this style, but lately the computer and photoshop is allowing me to just push much further my style that I think I wouldn't be able to do in an hand made illustration or painting. Haaa! Thanks to PCs and Photoshop!
yes you have to invest time on a graphic computer programs like photoshop and Illustrator progmate!!
When the impossible becomes possible.
Actually I had posted all my collages and some of other artworks here but i guess you missed them.
you can visit my blog to view them all. Thanks for the interest.

Those balls from Octavarium are just brilliant!!! I love the way you brought em to life. Here´s an idea: maybe working out from the Octavarium Image with the balls (errm) incorporating other covers with round objects such as Pompeii with Floyd and that fantastic gong, or perhaps Tangerine Dream Zeit? Just food for thought anyways - I hope you continue to do whatever inspires you.

My Review of the drumming collage:
Well tighten your wing nuts and tension rods, along comes the most prolific drum roll of fabulous drummers in glorious black and white noir. There are more drummers here than you can bang a gong to. Neil Peart, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, Bill Bruford, Ian Paice and Mike Portnoy for a start. There are metal legends such as Bill Ward and frontmen such as Phil Collins looming out of the darkness from “Face Value” album. Robert Wyatt is there in his mystical white beard, Nick D'Virgilio from the mystical Spock's Beard, and Alan White looking simply... er, mystical.
The drum kits are there as evidence, weapons of mass destruction that have pummeled the ears of listeners for decades of classic rock and jazz fusion; crash cymbals, rides and splashes glisten as lights dance off them, and even the drumsticks can be seen in the hands of the protagonists. Look hard and you may see a cowbell or chimes, congas and bongos, hi hats and bass drums and the occasional accordion in Giles's hands.
The black and white approach is appropriate as it encompasses the legends from time gone by and the legends of modern prog such as Nick Mason and Christian Vander with his hand crawling over his face in true Magma style. Bruford sits in his own reflection in contemplative fashion while Peart prefers to bash out his contemplative troubles. Each corner of the poster features a true drumming legend, from jazz to heavy prog. The faces encircle the centrifugal drum while a plethora of drummers crowd the bottom of the poster. There is Jon Theodore, of Mars Volta, Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree, Pierre Moerlen of Gong, Sib Hashian of Boston and Michi Dei Rossi of Le Orme. The collage is as tight as a drum and a finely tuned piece of art.
This is a heavenly depiction for drummers worldwide. |
NIce writing!....!!!!!!! I all ready posted in facebook and my blog

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
A lot of favorite Drummer of me exists here.
I think that I am glad because I can find Elvin Jones and Manu Katche.
And, Drummer that I hold in high esteem most is Bill Bruford. |
How can I leave out Mr' Elvis Jones? with work with John Coltrane is pure classic. he played on one the greatest jazz records of all time " A love Supreme"
And Manu katche many rock fans only know Manu katche drumming from Peter Gabriel's albums but what many don't know is that Manu Katche is a phenomenal Jazz/fusion drummer who played with Jan garbarek band for more than a decade whom also Nana vasconcelos and zakir Hussein also were also part of. An how would I forget my Favorite drummer Mr. Bruford!
haaa the great world of Music!!!!
