One of these days, Alice… BANG! ZOOM! I’ll start drawing again.

Art made for a @nimvind poster featuring the man’s eyes and a cosmic motif. Color, original ink, and the final poster. Simple but bold. At the time of posting, this show is tonight 3/22/26 in San Diego at Ken Club with @mortalfoilband (my new side band).

I’ve been working on a new music project called @mortalfoilband officially since the end of Dec ‘25 and we didn’t intend to play a show this early but things happened and here we are. If you’re in San Diego / SoCal consider coming out to Ken Club tonight.

“Did you hear who just died?”
“I did. That platypus was iconic.”
“Chuck Norr— what, really?”

It was Valentine’s Day. I like to think she didn’t have a Valentine to share it with and while maybe disgusted at the perceived crass catcall also took it as a compliment making her V-Day a little nicer all things considered.

Leaving a drive thru with my window still down, my partner showed how full her French fries were. In reply I shouted “HOO” loudly. A woman crossing the street in a tight fitting pink track suit with “Juicy” bedazzled across her butt looked back at us. Embarrassing and hilarious.

Imagine a “tramp stamp” style tattoo of Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank from Mystery Science Theater 3000 saying “DEEP HURTING” and you gotta look at it every time you hit it from the back. #mst3k

I just heard the PS3 start up sound for the first time in my life and now I’m pissed off.

[Robert Writhe @RobertMakes]

Heres what the poster looked like and a couple extra unused ideas for the single art.

[Robert Writhe @RobertMakes]

An another idea for @thewrithers “Drown (in the Swamp)” single artwork that ended up being used for an alternate poster for 2024’s Summer of Terror Tour with @OurFrankenstein and @Antaniaofficial.

My illustration for @thewrithers’ 2024 single “Drown”. I spent way too much time sketching, re-drawing, and getting lost in the details with this piece. I’m still happy with how this bug-eye, cool-guy, swamp creature turned out.

First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. I don’t remember having any particular thoughts or inspiration for this astronaut doll explorer woman. Just comfortable.

First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. She ended up with vaguely Neanderthal and or Bruce Timm style features that stood out so much to me.

First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. This abstract, shady character being the most odd and my favorite.

Here’s that [old] poster

[Robert Writhe @RobertMakes]

A self-portrait. Vaguely inspired by various Oingo Boingo album covers. Made for a @thewrithers poster for my birthday show back in January 2025.
