Art in Techno-Music #9 -Modular synthesis in space (+details)

haedre (59) in art • 7 years ago (edited)

This is "Synthromo", a 100% black ballpoint pen illustration I did in 2014 for the Belgian Acid Techno label "Narcosis Records". The original artwork was drawn with black ballpoint pen on bristol paper. The original size is 30x30cm

Here's a look at both sides of the cover.

Like most of my works from that time, I don't have any photos of the process but I have prepared you some close ups.

And here's the real wax, ready for the needle.

You can find more info about the imprint and listen to some of the tracks on their Discogs page.

Thank you for having checked my post, I hope you enjoyed it!

Amazing!
I love the detail of your work. It has that retro feeling that I simply adore. It could be an art piece for an 80’s Carpenter movie! Awesome!

Don’t worry about the process. I run into the same problem constantly. I forget to document what I’m doing and then I’m stuck with the result and I don’t have the steps.
I think it might be because most of the times it’s because we don’t know what we’re doing and we’re learning while creating.
Or at least that’s what happens in my case.

Anyway... amazing artwork!!!

Thank you for commenting @the-beard! I am glad you're digging it!

In my case I just didn't have any decent camera around at the time. Today it's even difficult to avoid them :D

Yeah no process pictures also mean also you were way too concentrated! =)

Very nice pen and ink, it looks like something that took you awhile to complete, very nice looking.

Thank you @bashadow! For its size it's quite a long process indeed, it's a bit old so I am not sure anymore but I think around 5 to 6 days.

Oh man, the details you have managed to pulled off is so amazing. All these knobs, hanging cables, and pianos! Like other people's comments, it has this retro feeling that you'd see in 80's. I bet it took you a long time to complete this - so worth all the effort though!

One-point perspective is spot on. Also helps to enhance the composition by directing my attention to three men. It got great depth! 👍

Cheers!

Thanks @dm7! Glad you're appreciating =)

Took around a week if I remember correctly. Taking the time always worth it but I reckon it is somehow difficult nowadays.

Symmetria or oine point are charming to use as they indeed focuses somewhere but at the same time, it can divert from the rest, still I dig it too :D

Thanks again .)

You're welcome @haedre! :) A good artwork always take a serious amount of dedication and time - I think this 1 week was worth it. :) And yeah, like everything else, it can either make the composition work or break it. You just gotta master it and... hope for the best? Haha.

Cheers

Very good! makes me think of daft punk
is there some way I can hear the music?
Yeah with work that is obviously not based on photographic reference the process should not be a requirement at all. :)

True it looks a bit like daft punk :D Wasn't intentional of course.

I edited and added a link to the music but here it is, the Discogs page.

I'm a fan of pen and ink style drawings, and detail always compels me to look closer.

This piece is visually dense and engaging, it pleases me to view so much linework in such a small format. Fits the theme of the label/genre perfectly.

I swear, this is making me want to spring for the Wacom tablets you can draw on, because I've been away from it for too long.

Thanks for sharing this.

Glad to meet a fan of ballpoint work! I haven't posted many of them yet since I do more colours at the moment, so more to come.
And they are all rather small indeed -)
