David Byrne & Russell Mael Members of the Crooked Tooth Club

The photo of Russell in the background was taken a few years earlier, but I thought it was a good fit! Below are two reference pictures from 1976.

i fear nothing will ever top the narrative of using art to turn autistic isolation into human connection that david byrne has had going on for his entire career

I dont uassally draw, because I'm not very good at it, but drew this scene in Jeanne Dielman recently. I think it's okay.

What is your favorite piece of merchandise that you own? :)

I have a lot! It must be one of my T-shirts that I have. I wear it a lot. It is very comfortable, so it has become something I wear every day!

Do forgive me for the images' bad quality, i took this late at night, and my lamp is way too bright.

Otherwise, I really don't have a lot of merch other than vinyl and CDs. I have a Feelings CD with a postcard that shows Luaka Bop's HQ address, as well as their @/aol mail (lol)

Non-DB, but adjascent; i have a Speaking In Tongues vinyl with the special design by Robert Rauschenberg, i believe. Sadly the original container broke, and I had to put it in a normal sleeve.

I have many more merch that I love, like David Byrne's book Bicycle Diaries, but I can't seem to find it right now, but rest assured it is in my room somewhere....

Eyyy, he's got eyes now.

Finally got to use those water slide decals I got on clearance like three years ago. (And I know they look suuuper pixelated but that's cuz of camera setting on my phone. In person they look way more normal and I made them at 300 dpi.) Don't love that I had to paint in the eye whites either. That being said, I worry if they're not close enough together for a proper likeness. I've been struggling to get the right mouth for a while, so I can't tell if I just don't like the eye/mouth combo I have or if I need to scrap 'em all and start over clean. Or maybe just put him on a shelf for three days and rethink it then.

Thoughts?
