blog flume skip to main skip to sidebar saturday september 13 2025 i bet you re fat and married and you re always home in bed by half past eight this lyric from the kinks do you remember walter pretty much encapsulates the aftermath of my abbreviated life in music as a youth which is another story in fact i m usually asleep a bit earlier how i ended up doing the sleeve of the rock duo fantasmage s new album is a bit of a fluke i usually do not do illustration work because there s usually a rapid turnaround and the people asking generally think of you as a passive instrument they are guiding kind of like the plot of an airplane disaster movie where you re the first time pilot and they are talking you down from the control tower i already had an ongoing email correspondence with cartoonist and fantasmage guitarist andrés mag á n he had already sent me links previously to their first album and also to the more ambient solo music he had created listening to these links i had the far too rare response of hey this is actually great fantasmage reminds me a little of the ramones due to their lack of solos and the precision of their arrangements you ll often hear them drop a beat or a bar to get to a chord change faster or keep things concise i also think the singer nico has a really unique rock and roll voice the melodies are simple and catchy the drums always swing and run through a variety of feels so nothing gets too repetitive i just happened to be lucky enough they were willing to give me many months to do the artwork instead of like a week how it ended up actually working was i started painting the front before any of the recording had actually begun i looked at the cover of the first album with a discomfited green man on it and decided well how about 2 green people for the second i then came across a photo of pili y mili dancing in tandem and used that as a reference i googled vigo spain the band s hometown and used a generic street photo for the background a street andrés subsequently recognized and had a mild chuckle about for the back cover i tried to imitate the cartoons in what i later learned was called a tebeo called el ddt i then discovered google translate has a drop down for galician the language native to vigo to translate my punchlines andrés seemed to enjoy the clunky robot interpretations better than an actual accurate take for the insert i was in an antique store in long beach and came across a children s jigsaw puzzle i was able to alter slightly into a portrait of the band all during this time i was being sent the recordings as they finished each batch it was always exciting to hear that after 13 years they had maintained their energy and savvy and each batch was to me happily an unpredictable surprise where my usual response became okay these guys know what they re doing not that i exactly knew myself ha ha i kept thinking back to some vague acquired aesthetic that came from years of loving barney bubbles and hipgnosis designs and tried to create something as fun as their music anyway all i can say is i m thrilled to be a small part of their new album and i hope it brings them the notoriety they deserve the title they came up with no salgas m á s also struck me as perfect as they recognized what unified a lot of my art a mostly unfounded and somehow amusing fear something terrible was about to happen the title reminded me again of the ramones when they told their audience leave home click here to read the rest of this post okay all done posted by tim hensley at 6 44 pm monday june 5 2023 _ ツ _ click here to

via phone on my breakfast table this is roman muradov s latest book for dargaud tous les vivants this is his third book for them and it s baffling to me why they haven t all been published in english this story is a very ethereal and downbeat look at what might comprise the afterlife beautiful subtle and muted artwork also included was a limited edition risograph mini this was a funny tale capturing the madness of having an unbearable song stuck in your head andrés magán sent me the french version of his latest all ages book les aventures de passer p malta it has also been published in spanish it s a fun comic within a comic within a comic tale containing precise drawings of anthropomorphic citizens he tells me he also has an english book forthcoming from entropy editions this year andrés also enclosed a risograph mini by begoña garcía alén that appears to be about a lengthy conversation between insects 6 tendrils up begoña and andrés were interviewed together in bubbles 14 speaking of bubbles evan salazar who interviewed me in issue 11 sent me a compelling mini telling a tale of the old west how am i ever going to keep up with all these fine folks now that i ve already
