Description Stef of Diavolo Rosso and Black Shape of Nexus is one of the nicest guys playing the bass ever.
This portrait of him was on an exhibition until today, I made a photo of it before getting it off the wall. At home I noticed that the upper left corner is too bright... but well, whatever

His band diavolo rosso represents the state of hardcore in the 90s for me.

Definitley check out BSoN if you're into underground music styles.

Your style is just so neat! The way you compose it is great too. ^^

I like how you break up this image with different shapes, faces, and other objects. It gives it more interest than just a simple portrait, but with the great detail in the face and hands of your subject, Stefan, it still keeps that human anchor. A very attractive piece and makes me interested in checking out his band!Β

He is a very old friend of mine always stayed modest, no matter how good his bands were. I made a record cover for his former band Diavolo Rosso (hardcore punk) and meanwhile I drew the sketches for this large portrait. He lives for and from music... even got his own label now.Β

Very cool stuff all around! Stefan sounds like a really neat guy. Β 


And that's really cool that you got to do a cover for one of his bands' records! I checked it out and it looks pretty awesome!

Thanks

I did a few record covers for punk and hardcore bands in the last 10 years. But most of them stayed so underground that they haven't even got a website. Among the more well known (in local punk terms ) are Dora Diamant and When the kitchen radio says kill. Also some artwork stuff for do androids dream of electric sheep and burn/it/out. I could have done more... but I'm lazy and have/had too many hobbies

You are far from lazy, my good sir. Β 

But that is really cool! It sounds like you're pretty involved in the local music scene. Is punk and hardcore your music preference?

for playing and listening at live shows yes. For listening at home I prefer Indie/alternative, some electronica stuff and softer songs.
Today I have no work so I will paint until I fall over

Lucky! I wish I didn't have work. But... then again, I did call in sick on Sunday.

Have fun painting until you fall over!

Great to hear! I'm glad you had fun! Β 

That was me on Sunday after finishing 3 of those mini inks and my two large pieces I did (that will be shown off tomorrow... well, Thursday.)

Haha! I'm sure you'll like one of them. The other... I'm actually really nervous about posting.

Β I'm looking forward to all the submissions. When reading and seeing some of the fan fiction here I already blushed more than once.
