31 - Any Pronouns Artist on my spare time. I draw arms, girls and other things. https://machimancho.carrd.co/

This morning I was sitting at a car repair shop waiting for them to fix our brakes. I was recognized by a Death Metal fan who loved my work for Obituary (!) and other albums; he shyly introduced himself and asked if he could shake my hand! Funny how life works sometimes... 🤘

ARISE (1990) Mixed media - 20” x 20” I took the opportunity with this commission—an album cover for Sepultura—to experiment and have fun.

A pair of spiky lobster-like claws pull a strand through a human brain. Suspended above, the abstract shape of a body hangs upside down, wavy and transparent. Inside appears to be human faces screaming in horror intermixed with internal organs (intestines and spine). The structure the claws protrude from is an amalgam of body parts, human and otherwise, including a pair of mismatched blue eyes, a deformed mouth full of uneven teeth. A path atop a winding stone wall leads up to the grotesque monument from the green, grass-like-yet-alien vegetation in the foreground. Behind the structure murky water gently ripples.

The Oversquire! The most powerful squire ever to attend is here! Able to squire a full squadron of knights, the Oversquire delivers immaculate armor and shining weapons with perfect timing! With squiring at that level, even the most disastrous knights can become champions! #0622
