TURBO COCK Print
I've been stuck on roosters for a while, so it was pretty organic to mutate the Painkiller motorbike with the metallic bird diving with turbo-killer armament from Screaming for Vengeance. While I was drawing I felt back in technical drawing class at uni: ruler and inking pen, infinite concentration not to fuck it up, and you can't imagine how happy it makes me to work on paper.
The first Judas record I heard was Painkiller. Early 90s, summers in the south with my cousin Rafa. I didn't know much about the band but I was immediately blown away by the power, the extreme speed, the technique — pure metal incarnate. There's a reason Schuldiner from Death closes "Sound of Perseverance" with a Painkiller cover.
This design isn't just homage to the band but also to master Doug Johnson (Canadian) who marked a milestone in metal visual history with the SFV art. I think the SFV cover is perfect. 80s airbrush master with impeccable geometric deconstruction, an ode to diagonals, strong colors, graphic speed straight to the vein.
For those who want the design framed, without the t-shirt as mediator. Printed in Argentina by @gassergarage. Ships rolled in a rigid tube.
