my piece for @placebopilled for the velvet goldmine secret fairy event!! we haven't really spoken but i saw that you liked the manic street preachers and i thought that taking their lyrics with the context of shots from the film would be interesting. i've been listening to this is my truth tell me yours a lot, so i ended up pairing lyrics from you're tender and you're tired with the dynamic between brian and curt.

this ended up being a triptych because i had several ideas i felt worked best together - the idea for the first one started with the "sand and sea" line, the rest of which reflects brian's allowance for curt to use him as a support, as well as the poetic tragedy of their relationship. The latter two, with the repetitive lyrics at the end of the song, reflect the end of their relationship and brian's denial of that support he once offered to curt, defined by his silent exit.

these were also an interesting experience to draw, as they allowed me to flex some technical skill muscles - rather than drawing from observation, i mapped out the tonal values semi-blindly and only after that did i add colour. each one was executed differently depending on what worked best with each image. the text is also a very technical element, it allowed me to work with the remaining space and create lettering with both consistency and difference, as well as with a visual flow. this is also a style of writing i used in another piece inspired by glam rock.

thank you @gayalienwilde and @placebopilled for this opportunity!! and to the latter, i hope you enjoy this work!!!

My recreation of Brian Slade's "gunshot wound". I took some creative liberties of course, choosing the spirit of glam over accuracy <3
