Topic: Anyone need a pick-me-up

[Karl]

Nothing odd you understand. It's just that it's summertime and the livin isn't easy. The rain is being thrown out of the sky and I'm working. So I need a jolt of inspiration to get me out to take a few dolly mixtures.

I've seen his work around before but his website was just what the doctor ordered. So enough polite euphemisms from me and post up any sites of particular inspiration to help me along...ta x

ps a free postcard to the first person translate the hidden cockney rhyming slang used herein.

If you like music, you can go the way of the Rupert-Truman portfolio.

Very few of the pictures are "fixed" in photoshop (those that are show the obvious signs). If you see a 1200Kg statue, it's really that big and weighs 1200Kg. He did many Pink Floyd covers among others. All his work are in that style and it's all pretty amazing in a way.

A fun thing to do is to try and guess who's and what album the pictures you see appeared in

Wonderful stuff. I think I've guessed the homepage picture as a Biffy Clyro cover. I'll have a go at some of the others.

On a related note I've often thought that since the demise of vinyl and nice big artwork (and, sniff, coloured vinyl), that when a band or artist realease an album there should be a link to to a specific website for artwork and 'sleevenotes' for that record. It would really help to connect to the whole work. Slight digression but sort of photography related.
