NICHOLAS GAZIN'S DRAWING BLOG

I haven't updated my Livejournal in a while. I've been using Tumblr instead. Teke a look at mine over here.

These are three rejected toy designs I made last year for Kid Robot. The top one is supposed to be me. When will I get my own action figure? WHEN?!

I drew this logo for my friend Nate/Igor's band, Fucking Bullshit. Nate is better known for his photo blog, Driven By Boredom.

I did some sketch cards that Lamour Supreme gave me to draw on.

I drew poster art for Metropolis Fest 2, a festival hosted by Metropolis Vintage. Metropolis Vintage is a Manhattan based used clothing store who hire me to do a lot of things and are nice guys.



The poster was also printed onto T-shirts. Here it is on grey.



Here it is on yellow.



Here it is on a baseball shirt.



Here's Mick Collins from the Gories and the Dirtbombs holding it.



Here are the store's owners selling the shirts. You can still get these at the Metroplis Vintage store. It's located at 3rd Avenue and E. 10th Street in Manhattan.

I did are for the band, NT and they were nice enough to mention me in an interview with the Village Voice.

The album art for the 7" is a little wild...
Our friend Nick Gazin did the artwork. He's a local artist who does surreal comic book style drawings and paintings of crazy people and monsters. A while back we played a show for him and asked him to pay us in drawings instead of money. He made some sketches of me performing but as some freaky blob monster, and one where my hair is consuming my head. It seemed like he understood our general aesthetic so when it was time to put the record together I asked him. He made a bunch of panels and we picked the creepiest ones.

This is an art show that I'm in that opens at Live With Animals on April 22nd. My band, Fuck School, goes on at 8pm.

My friend and client Karim texted me these photos the other day from a Hot Topic. There between the shirts for Avenged Sevenfold, Children of Bodom and Disturbed T-shirts is a shirt with art I drew for the Black Dahlia Murder. Black Dahlia Murder are a good band of nice guys and you can read about the time my brother and I hung out with them in Boston or the time I saw them at the Crazy Donkey. 

The original drawing is a two foot by three foot black ink piece that took forever to do. It looked like this.



The original T-shirt that was made using this art looked like this.



They ended up having to erase the 666 on one of the character's forehead since Hot Topic isn't cool with Satanism. You can buy it here for $20.50 if you want it. I'm not benefitting in any financial way from the shirt being presented for purchase on a bigger scale so it doesn't affect me too much either way.

A website called Boooooooom gave me a little blog mention and posted some of my images.
