WAYNE'S WORLD



Just a small picture of Wayne and Garth as Laverne and Shirley, from the Milwaukee montage. Garth is hard to drawn accurately, without completely exaggerating the overbite / gopher thing Dana Carvey is doing. Things which make sense will be coming shortly...

PS - It's Algonquin for "the good land".

INDRICOTHERE IV



This is the completed art for the back cover of the Indricothere LP. There is definitely going to be some text added to this; recording information, thanks, label info – that kind of thing. But this is the art itself - it's totally done. I can't really pin down what inspired the general look here, Privat Livemont's Art Nouveau poster for Absinthe Robette, the Hapshash and the Coloured Coat LP cover, photos of nebulae. The plant-like mass at the bottom is definitely a riff on the floral details in St. Anselm's Meditations, but also it vaguely resembles the Indricothere logo I came up for the front cover. As the Indricothere is a giant vegetarian mammal (which has a metal band named after it) I made this twisted mass of vinelike plant structures to reinforce that theme a bit more, and made it really intricate because, after all, this is technical death metal.
