Christian Wallin Illustrations

Finished a new piece of art the other day.
Was thinkin of adding a name or a phrase to it, so I thought I’d ask my followers on facebook
to give their suggestions. And I got some great responses

Kanndy King, Hop Frog, Pill Bastard, E.Vel Jester is a few of the names that are in the running!

Got a better one? Drop a comment here or on facebook

Dead Pleasures are soon releasing their new EP “The Thing Within”.
It will be a digipack CD which I’ve done the artwork for.
The artwork includes the front cover (posted above), a back cover, as well as insert, tray and disc designs.
The concept for the front cover is based on the The Walking Dead comics.

I’ll post the rest of the art as soon as the EP has been released.

New artwork for Death Ray Boot.
The band will be on tour in Europe this month.
I went to see them recently and they put on a great show.

I got a package in the mail from England today with all the new Dead Pleasures merchandise
with my designs including stickers, pin, patch and the new digipak pressing of “A Symphony of Horror”.
I was excited to see it all, especially the new packaging of the cd.
The artwork looks great in the digipak format.

It’s all availabe at Dead Pleasures webshop

Had some technical problems with this site the last couple of days but we’re finally back online.
Sorry if you dropped by during the down time…

Several new projects are in the making so there’s new artwork coming.
Meanwhile, check out the new patches in Dead Pleasures webshop.

Completed a new illustration the other day and made two short videos of it.
Been thinking about making videos of the whole illustration process…from sketch to
the finished result, and this was just to test the software and learn how to do it.
But it was a lot of fun!

This is something I’ve been working on in-between projects.
I have been pretty busy with a couple of t-shirt designs lately, but ever since I came up
with the idea for it I have been eager to complete it.
Had to sacrifice a few nights sleep, haha, but it was worth it since it turned out kind of cool.

There’s room on the banner to write something, but I haven’t thought of what it should say yet.
What do you think? “Mean Machine”? “Hell On Wheels”? Any suggestions?

Next up, in a week or so, is the new tour thirt design for Badmouth….

…this is very cool: Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N’ Roses) in my Badmouth t-shirt design,
flanked by Badmouth’s own Chris LeMon (in the “Rock N’ Roll Monster” shirt) and Vinnie Sharpe.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Gn’R so this kind of blows my mind just a little.

Badmouth and Gilby are currently on tour in Sweden together.

Sometimes you get to do nice things
for yourself.

Since I’ve always been in bands
(as a guitarist), and still am,
I took the opportunity to create
something special for an upcoming
cd release I’m involved in.
Here’s a piece of art that will serve
both as the album cover to
Killer Clan of F.U.N.‘s  album
“The World of Voodoo” and as a t-shirt.

Inspired by the album title and by
some of leadsinger Maniac’s stage props,
I worked on this for quite a while,
and I’m quite pleased with the outcome.
