It's finally finished, and what a painstaking piece it was! I present to you, in it's entirety, 'Thrash 'Till Death' (Literally!). I think what is going on in the piece is quite self explanatory, but to those who may not get it, it's a tribute to old-school thrash! An 80's era audience of metalheads just enjoying some friendly violent fun. There are quite a number of band referneces, aside from the obvious t-shirt logos, you're invited to point them out, let's see how many you can find!
The only thing I'll make note of, is that My brother Jakee, friend Ant, and myself are hidden in the audience (Behind the guy that kinda looks like a confused Joey Belladonna missing his hands)
Oh, and with the exception of Jakee, Ant, and I, all characters are ficticious and any resemblance those living or dead is purely coincidental! (Although I do see quite a few look-a-likes)
This piece was done in ink (Pigma Micron pens in sizes ranging from .005 to brush-tip) on 11 x 14 paper. I'm going to try to get a better scan eventually, since this came out pretty grainy. Hey, I was impatient.
Whoa, now this is pretty intense, i can see why it was such a pain to do!
Well, i'm not the biggest expert on thrash around, but the references i find are...
-guy punching guy through other guy's head as a reference to Fistfull of Metal by anthrax -the sillouette of the guy drinking beer at the exit, dont know what band it is from thought, i just know the symbol -the guy in a gas mask probasbly reference to Sodom? -and the chainsaw reference to Destruction? -and uh.. the circular saw in some sort of reference to W.A.s.P.? i dunno really haha
Still, amazing job on this!
