this was supposed to be a flyer for an oi punk show i got nagged by banshees from the bowels of hades to make; but in the end i was told it wasn’t tough enough…and “those kinds of skinheads [the bands playing] don’t like scooters.” i don’t like those kinds of skinheads!

i let this sit after it was spurned but i figured i’d give it some color and make the girl in the middle wear a crass t shirt. i was going to wait till i finished the background to put this up, but gee golly gosh, i’ll call it a process post!! floating characters ahoy!

i was looking at a dan decarlo book when i made this to fuel that punk rock archie vibe. after years of only drawing cartoony animals [outside of figure] i’m starting to dig this whole drawing people thing! i really like making loose references to my friends in these sorts of drawings too. there’s a couple in this one…

oh! speaking of friends and rock and roll ladies! i just added a link on the side to krysti pryde! scope out her ramblings! and those of chloe rice too while you’re at it!

here’s some post reading music from the aquabats while you wait:
