"O Portfolio, Portfolio! Wherefore art thou Portfolio?"

Okay, so I'm back to my original idea for this series of drawings, illustrations of singers and bands that I like (as opposed to just drawing female singers that I fancy!). Here is Thom Yorke from Radiohead, acting rather nervous while wearing a homemade robot costume... what a "Paranoid Android" he is... *groan!*



Incidentally, if anyone has a spare day ticket for this year's Reading Festival on the Sunday, then let me know. Radiohead are headlining and I really want to go...

All we hear is Radio(head) ga ga...

...Radio(head) goo goo. Radio(head) ga ga.

I downloaded Radiohead's new album off the Internet for a "nominal fee" and it's all sorts of excellent! One of those rare Cd's that you can stick on and listen to all the way through without wanting to skip any tracks.

Anyway, as I didn't have any CD artwork (one of my main gripes with the "digital music revolution"), I decided to create my own. I hand drew the elements on paper, then scanned the drawing and added the colour and the rainbow effect in Photoshop...

I also created a back of the CD including the track list. I wanted to get a hand-crafted look to this, so wrote the song titles onto a sheet of tissue using a black felt tip so the lettering bled a little and wasn't perfect, then I laid the paper on top of a page out of a newspaper to give a background texture and colour and scanned the lot. Here are a few photos of the final product...
