Heavy metal and clients from hell

Old Metal Fan by tuomasikonen

The designs and illustrations of Tuomas Ikonen have a quality I really admire. Apart from being gorgeous, they seem to embrace the product they are applied to. Many times I come upon interesting artwork that seems to be thrown upon stuff, while Tuomas's work uses carefully the format of each product. Hence, his creations -like this iPad case with the old metalhead listening to Slayer!- have a distinct personality and character.

The Client is Always Right by tuomasikonen

In is hands, the well-known motto about the client always being right (a nightmare for every freelancer and merchant alive, if you ask me...) becomes a wonderfully conceived poster of humorous satire. There are great things to be found in his small but beautiful artsproject store.

Iron Tesla-man

This is quite interesting. These guys perform Black Sabbath's Iron Man, using Tesla coils as guitar amp. The result gives a whole new -crazy- meaning to electric guitar. You've got to love the metal suits and gloves!
All you Tesla minded could also check out this old gem -while waiting for a brand new post concerning your beloved magnificent Serb.

Sounding heavy

Have you ever been in a concert, feeling the bass thudding in your stomach? The character on this design knows exactly what I'm talking about. This corpulent monster seems to be made out of sound, and the cool b/w raglan shirt suits it just fine.
It's a bold design that successfully expresses heavy metal and it's a pleasure to look at, made by Jeff Stanislawski. Jeff's work is diverse but I do believe that his strong, music-inspired illustrations are top of the bill. Rockin' stuff!
