Our world is constantly becoming a smaller place.
Broadcasting stations brings us news from every part of the globe directly into our homes.
The network of the media corporations has become ever so complex.

Media tycoons, like Silvio Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch, embody the global power of the media and the danger of it manipulating politics and public alike.
The outcome of elections can be manipulated by swaying opinions and wars abroad seem to have become the instruments of political campaigning at home.
Even terrorists make use of the modern tools of propaganda.
All that remains to audiences is to participate as a silent zombie in front of the idiot box.

What is propaganda? Are satellite-TV and Internet the last step to total control?
Or is all of this nothing more than harmless entertainment?

Mini Blackbook: Heroes, Horns & Helmets

February 10th, 2009

I found theses image files.  I scaned them a while ago. There out of one of my mini black books.
i scaned it because the book got distorted somehow. looks like it got wet – i guess it’s the combination of that paper and the marker that i used…

its a very small book format. Ca. 10 x 10 cm.
i tried to draw an ultimative collection of simple comic characters with boilerplate formed heads or helmets.
Some of them with horns that make them look like devils, vikings or bulls…
There is some knights, ice hockey players, astronauts, evel-knevels, wrestlers etc.

Some of these drafts where templates for graffiti pieces. Check it out:
Browse the whole gallery and see all of the pics (68 scans!)
