Some little OT, but is here anybody who knows the author of the Ixnay back cover picture? I mean the skeletons and skulls by the tram. I accidently bumped into that picture and it's author like month ago but I dont remember where (somewhere on the wikipedia I guess) and I'm trying to find it for hours now!
Krojd, his name is Jose Posada. It's definitely worth checking out some more of his work.

Oh thank you very much Tijs :) I was so desperate I tried to read his signature of some high res jpegs of the back cover, but all I came up with was "Pioada" :D
Edit: I noticed a little detail when I bumped into the picture few days back. I always knew that on the Ixnay version of it the standing skeleton is giving all the other bones a middle finger and I thought it's part of the original drawing. And it's not :D
At the request of Dulce, I am posting the wire sculpture I made of Dexter when I was in 10th grade as a project for art class. It was displayed in my high school's art show that year, along with a grid technique drawing of the whole band.

Sadly, the printed BW photos I used printed with less detail than their color counterparts, so the drawings also have less detail.

Wow, your a decent/good artist! My favorite is the Dexter wire one it looks just like him back in the days of Ignition/Smash eras. Do ya still draw or do any sculptures? :)

I have a partially-carved Greg K playing bass made of plaster of paris made in the same art class, but it sucks and is incomplete. While carving it, I kept slipping and cutting up my fingers and hands. I had 13 band-aids on them at one point due to my inexperience with carving tools. His head and leg broke off so they are glued back on, haha. I, uh, was a loner in high school and I kept to myself and my CD's a lot, so I did a lot of Offspring art.
The only recent Offspring-related art I did was the one I put onto the sign I brought to the concert that got me noticed by the band. It's the one in my sig. I was just a couple months post-op from wrist surgery, so it took about 8 hours. I'm planning on drawing a comical picture of Noodles soon.

Moving story, it touched me in a sense of I was also a loner in high school. You kept busy with cool stuff and it was worth it having fun in activities/hobbies. I admire folks that motivates themselves by doing something that they're passionate about. Looking forward to your comical Noodles side-project in the future! The band could hire you as their photographer - hence the pics you posted from the lovely concert you attended! for reals, the ones you took of the men are amazing, Melyssa. Would reconsider it as a giving opportunity offer? =^•^=
If they offered me an opportunity to be their concert photographer, I'd accept it in a heartbeat, but I have no formal training and I don't know much about cameras, so that could never happen. All I know how to do is get the right angle and zoom, and wait for the moment to be right to capture gold moments on camera. There's no way a tiny unknown photo hobbyist as myself could ever expect to be anything more than an opportunistic photographer when they come to my city and I snag front row. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though. It helped pick my spirits up.Quote:
