Can you believe it has already been 10 years since Bowie left us?

Thank you for the music, and the permission to dress differently.

Illustration based on by Mick Haggerty’s original artwork for Bowie’s Scary Monsters album (1980), here re-created using Affinity Designer on iPad. Lyrics from Fashion to the right: Fashion! Turn to the left. Fashion! Turn to the right. We are the goon squad and we’re coming to town. Beep Beep

My drawing of Lady Violet Crawley and Carson of Downton Abbey. Calling it done for now, but might darken her wrinkles later 😄

Depicting older people sure pose different challenges.

I drew another LP cover – one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums, and their tribute to Syd Barret. This is an alternate version that started as a sticker, but has later been used for casette tapes, CDs and LP box sets. The reference for this image is the 50 year anniversary edition of the album.

The original design was created by George Hardie, a graphic designer and illustrator working at Hipgnosis, a London based art design group that specialised in creating album cover artwork for rock musicians and bands. After spending hours and hours with this, I'm in awe of mr. Hardie's skills, creating this (and so many more) using analog tools only.

A circlular sticker design. Across the top at a 45° angle shows two machines clasped together, resembling a handshake. The machine on the left is translucent, while the other appears to be shiny metal. The whole circle is divided into four quarters in different colours. The pink quarter, located on upper-left, has the sun shining and "PINK FLOYD" in big font; below the band name is "WISH YOU WERE HERE" in small font. The yellow quarter at lower-left displays sand dunes. The blue quarter at upper-right shows blue skies. The green quarter at lower-right displays green- or teal-coloured water.

A few vector drawings of Louise Brooks I recently completed. I'm a sucker for a cute face in that haircut… Original photos ca. 1929 by Eugene Robert Richee.

Louise Brooks in a classic low-key photo, wearing all black. Only her hands, face and long pearl necklace is visible in the otherwise black frame.

Louise Brooks looking straight into the camera, wearing a white top in front of an art deco background.

Då vart jag klar med en ritning till, lite besatt av Downton Abbey tydligen…

Vector drawing of Lady Mary, played by Michelle Dockery, emerging from a dark blue background into the sun. The brim of her semi-transparent sun hat drapes her face in hard shadow stripes. Dressed for a day at Ascot.

Fixade klart dessa idag - retro high-tech från en klassisk musikvideo.

Ritat med Affinity Designer, iPad.

Vector drawing of a still from the seminal Dire Straits video to "Money for Nothing", 1985. Two, very low-poly, 3D rendered handymen are carrying microwave ovens in a simple hallway. Behind them a huge TV screen with Dire Straits on stage.

This turned out to be one of the most complex designs I have drawn in a long time. Happy about how it turned out, and also, got an idea for an animated version…

Also the first Queen album I bought back in 1976.

#Queen #VectorArt #AffinityDesigner #Illustration #Vector

A vector drawing of the album cover for Queen's "A Day at the Races" from 1976. One red and one grey lion, both wearing crowns, are holding a big, ornamented light blue letter Q between them. In the middle of the Q, a royal crown is placed.

One fairy in pink sits in the grass to the left while another fairy in blue is watching her. Behind and above the Q, a red crab is engulfed in flames and a white'ish bird is spreading their wings over the top. The background is black, but with a blue/yellow circular motif behind the characters indicating a rising sun on a summer morning.

Band name and album title set in "Parfum" typeface below the design.

Current mood, as expressed by Michelle Dubois of the Résistance.

Recreation of another piece by Roy Lichtenstein, using Affinity Designer.

Speech bubble altered from the original, with a wink to the wonderful BBC series “’Allo 'Allo”.

#RoyLichtenstein #AffinityDesigner #VectorArt

Re-creation of a Roy Lichtenstein piece, possibly named “CRAK”. A young woman in a red beret is firing a rifle. I changed her speech bubble to read “Listen very carfully, I will say ‘zis only once. DIE NAZI!”

Kinda reflects my current mood…
