Nine Inch Nails Art.com Archive

An online archive and blog of the old school NIN site, nineinchnailsart.com, which was ran by yours truly (Jane) from 2000-2003. Fans from all over the world would contribute their fan inspired artwork of Trent Reznor/NIN and was posted daily on the site in the form of wallpapers, fine art, digital art, etc. Believe me, it was a blast doing it, and for the sake of nostalgia, I've decided to salvage what I could of the old files. The internet (or "NINternet") was an entirely different creature back in those days. Before youtube, tumblr, twitter, facebook, instagram, and all that good stuff, fans relied on each other's fan sites to provide content. It was a great time and I was happy to be a part of it so many years ago. Enjoy!

From graphite, pastel, and colored pencil to photographing #nineinchnails live in 2013, this is "20 years of Trent" (Reznor, obviously). First drawing dating back to the 90's. #shadowbox #trentreznor #drawings #collection #artlife #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #artcollection #pastelpainting #coloredpencils #concertphotography #coloredpencils #graphite #charcoaldrawing #mixedmedia

#trentreznor and I go back, as in way back...as in a history of me creating various mediums of portraiture of him. However, it's always a different experience & this time was the first drawing him in his current age. I haven't drawn him in 10 years, and this one of him is my favorite I believe. First time working with #softpastels - what an interesting experience! Strangely enough, rendering the ear was my favorite part. That and the reflective light on that lovely jawline of his. Created while listening to "With Teeth", "Hesitation Marks", and some Chvrches/Jezabels too. Until next time, I'll hear you in my ears, Trent. 11" x 14" #stabilocarbothello pencils, #mungyopastels, and #blickartmaterials portrait grey/black. #NIN #nineinchnails #portrait #art_spotlight #talentedpeopleinc #pastelpainting #instaart #artoftheday #sketch_daily

"Places parallel I know it's you. Feel the little pieces bleeding through..." - #NIN "Beside You In Time" #trentreznor showed me how #softpastels work. I treat them a bit like #graphite, but it's quite fun. More experimenting tonight and preparing, but I'll finish him too. #sketch_daily #instaart #nineinchnails #ninspiration #pastels #artoftheday #art_spotlight #art #portrait #expressiveart

"The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time. (David Bowie)" Thank you for being my guide tonight, Bowie, on whatever otherworldly, transcending existence you're in. You taught me to let go and not take pop art too seriously, and to make it my own. Rearrange and get in touch with the expressionistic strokes of oil and wax pastels. Thank you, @caran_dache, for making the most amazing water soluble wax pastels, and for @holbeinartistmaterials for making their incredible gouache paint. 9" x 12" on @strathmoreart #mixedmedia paper. #davidbowie #bowie #artoftheday #artdaily #art_daily #art_spotlight #gouache #neocolorii #aladdinsane #sketch_daily #oilpastels #waxpastels
