CAPSULE CABARET #2

After choosing the 8 key moments in our storyboard, we were each asked to remake them, to a multiple choice specification, for example: quicker, lighter, darker, geometric, blah.

I chose DARKER cuz it gave me an excuse to draw sick things.

.

1 -Puking Bloodspit

This was originally 4 people socialising with each other. Harriet drew lines to represent speech, and it reminded me of a fine bloody mist. I'm really pleased with it, but in hindsight it would have been better if the bottom left guy was puking onto Thatcher.

2 -Well Forked

This was based on my images of Palomar's brain. My train of thought was (Brain --> Zombie food --> cutlery --> Indiana Jones monkey-brain eating style image) The knife and fork suggest cannibalism too, which is quite a dark topic i suppose.

3 -Sick Things

This was based on Alice's drawing of Palomar thinking, showing the inside of his mind and a ponderous facial expression. I wanted to show him as a sick fucker grinning like a mentalist as he conjours up thoughts of viginal tentacles, drilling babies, arson and kitten suffocation.


4 -Gaffa-gob Gun-mob

These were two well dressed chaps. They got got.


5 -Flying LaVey

Based on Liam's warped photocopier high jinks, it was quite abstract so I thought of using evil bastards as the starting point. This one's Anton Lavey, satanist bible writer and general nutcase.
Number 6 was similar but of a horrible clown. I later used the original of 6 as the background for the performance poster.


7 -Theifs' Choice

This is a more visceral version of the one from the previous set of bars in his mind representing the consequences of his speech. I thought about nasty consequential punishments and came to the idea of an arabian theif's hand being severed after being caught in the act. This could have been done better but I was rushing to finish.


8 -Nazi Cock Knocker

This one's just horrible. It was based on a tiny piece of one of Alice's pieces which had a nazi propaganda poster of a steel worker hammering at something on an anvil. Because of the connotations behind the original, it was hard to think how to make it darker, so I just made it sick instead... There we go. Not my proudest moment, but a response none the less.
