Man About Town

Craftsman, dandy and man about town. Here I shall post pictures of things that delight me and poor quality photographs of my creations or works in progress and shamelessly encourage you to buy them.

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King. 

Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.

“This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the ‘70s and’ 80s are actually books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs - this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness, while paying tribute to the vintage design of the original covers,” Butcher writes on his Behance.

Merry Christmas. I'm making a vegan Christmas dinner on my own because her indoors is working. Resisting the temptation to add butter to everything is hard.
