I am currently working on 4 more Crowley T shirts for me for the summer. I was really pleased with the earlier one of Crowley in a burning car(see earlier post).I'm experimenting with the pigment dyes, using some like watercolour. The blue photos are the same T. The dancing down the aisle is front with Crowley the Angel who fell to earth on the back.If you are a Bowie fan you will get the reference and how 1941 look so reminds me of David Bowie in The Man who fell to Earth movie from 1976.As do Crowley's eyes....(if you know you know, and probably saw the film). Painting on blue I am finding very hard and takes lots of work.I used a yellow again for leaving the bookshop as I liked it on Burning Car one. (I am now singing a John Foxx song from 1980 in my head....it's a burning car...told you I talk in quotes lol!) I CHOSE Bastards! for the orange T...more flames Inside the bookshop). I am back on white, my classic way of doing T shirts for Crowley watching Aziraphale leaving. I am experimenting a lot on these. I still have t shirts I painted in 80s that are still very clear. So it is very permanent once set with heat.

I like having wearable Art....I don't do digital drawing too set in my old ways to learn it...

I DONT sell my T shirts... they are purely for myself or occasionally as gifts for special friends.

The original drawings are done with a fabric marker.

This is a David Bowie one I am working on too, a shot from The Man who fell to earth.

All works in progress at the moment.... and nowhere near finished....it takes layers of building up..

For anyone interested in the song from 1980.

Burning car by John Foxx

I absolutely love the fact that so many of those early electronic musicians are also sci-fi enthusiasts. Like Jean-Michel Jarre loves Arthur Clarke and watched 2001 a space odyssey for like 50 times when it aired in 1968, Kraftwerk went full on that Metropolis aesthetics with their man-machine-isms, Tangerine Dreams making one space-themed album after another, Klaus Schulze on Dune, Gary Numan being so obsessed with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that he made 3 albums (as well as an android persona) almost entirely based on Philip Dick's futuristic dystopia, The Human League & John Foxx being fans of JG Ballard, etc.. Finding out about these little "crossovers" and influences really brings me joy since I love both retro electronic music & retro scifi.

Happy 75th, John Foxx.

The Flash #792

I admit, I first expected that Miss Murder wouldn't be able to effectively read Bart's mind not because of his ability to think nothing but because it is canon that trying to read or link his thoughts with others (usually) results in a immediate disorientation because Bart thinks faster than a computer.

He can essentially overload any telepath by thinking not just nothing, but thousands of individual thoughts at once.

Impulse #1000000

Bart really is terrifying; having the ability to both think nothing at all and to think so many things at once even computers can't keep up with him.

He can preplan the demise of Brainiac himself through very meticulous and methodical computer code changing while also going with his gut and just becoming a reactionary bolt of lightning.

I love him.
