About the Artist

128005

Blasterkid has no other designs in the running. This is the 1st winning design for Blasterkid.

I wanted to work with traditional media on this piece.

I felt that Kiss being such a great live band using a “live” medium such as diluted india ink (basically black water color) and then drawing with tech pens and brushes was a great fit.

Using tools like brushes and pens were my guitars and drums.. My volume and distortion was swirling black washes and acrylic white blasts of paint.

I hope it feels like KISS doing a live show or reminds you of your best memories of seeing them live. That was the intention and I wanted to do something that just floored KISS fans.

As a kid I would draw KISS and also design my own stage sets for the band so doing this piece now (when I can actually draw a lot better) is a dream come true.

:)

I listened to KISS the entire time I worked on this drawing trying to infuse the energy of music into the final image.

thanks for checking it out!

The best thing is Paul’s look and how you achieved a great picture without using the KISS logo. Well done!.

I wanted to post a quick thank for all the nice posts. Not sure people will ever come back to read this.

But I just wanted to do something that really celebrated KISS and my love for the band. As a kid to listen to the music stirred something that I’ve carried my whole life…which is my imagination.

:)

thanks again for all the votes and nice words.
