Not my best. Not great at likenesses at the best of times plus I'm knackered after being dragged into work unexpectedly. Anyway, let's talk about Hevy Devy!

Devin Townsend is a musical madman! I mean that as a complement. He's played in several bands in high school before working with Steve Vai. Facing a lot of rejections by the labels, he eventually started Strapping Young Lad to vent his frustrations. And it shows, all of their music is loud, heavy and incredibly angry. If that's your cup of tea, that's fine but it was a bit much for me. Didn't mind Detox though...

Personally, I preferred his more contemporary work. Since getting to a better place mentally, his music has reflected that. And some of it's just funny. He came up with an entire rock opera based on an alien conquerer travelling to Earth looking for our universe's Ultimate Cup of Coffee. And it's ridiculously good! Go listen to Ziltoid The Omniscient...  And yes, I could have drawn Ziltoid, but I've already done that. In colour...

Sometimes you're just in the mood to listen to a Canadian rock opera and draw a greasy mean puppet okay

Anytime I get to the last track on Ziltoid The Omniscient, I always thing about my friends who work at Starbucks cause ik for a fact if they listened to Zildoid all the way to the end, theyd be like "omg, this is so real"

Anyway in trying to indoctrinate more of my friends to listen to Devy's music cause I'm normal about him

AI take on Ziltoid The Omniscient (the free one @ nightcafe, I'm cheap lol). After multiple fails, these are the two winner versions...kinda. Love how it gave Ziltoid pink dreadlocks in one and 2 coffee cups in the other.
