Repost: @MFiffe
My prints just reached Michel. 💀⚡✒️

I illustrated this COPRA ensemble, feat. Vitas' villainous troupe, almost a decade ago. Now that Michel Fiffe @MFiffe has concluded his 50-issue COPRA saga (Death of COPRA is out as we speak from @ImageComics), I decided it was time to greytone it and send it out to Michel! 💀⚡✒️
Really look forward to his next project!

Today marks the 45th anniversary of the passing of Today marks the 45th anniversary of the passing of Ian Curtis, the unforgettable voice and lyricist of Joy Division. Curtis played a key role in my graphic biography #TalesofTheSmiths, where I revealed a little-known chapter: his brief but genuine friendship with Morrissey, sparked after they both attended the infamous Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Trade Hall in Manchester in 1976, which a handful of people witnessed and then formed a series of legendary bands.

Here are some panels from the comic, originally published online from 2012–2014, and now collected in the 464-page Tales of The Smiths (Omnibus Press), available in bookstores worldwide.

May the Source Be With You! ✨ 
Star Wars was "inspired" wholesale by Jack Kirby's Fourth World saga and I thought it would be fitting to sketch out a quick homage to both space fantasies on May the 4th!

The homage is based on Tom Jung's original Star Wars poster from 1977.

Rest in Peace, David Johansen. 🎸💔🎤 @Davi Rest in Peace, David Johansen. 🎸💔🎤 
@DavidJohansen.official, frontman of the greatest androgynous theatrical rock group and punk originators, the #NewYorkDolls, just passed away. He was the last living Doll.
🎸💔🎤
The Dolls influenced @Morrisseyofficial to such a degree that a large chunk of my graphic biography of Moz's formative years, #TalesofTHESMITHS, was dedicated to his devotion to the New York Dolls, his formation of their UK fan club, whilst a teenager(!) in Manchester, and his authorship of their first biography. In 2004, Morrissey became a catalyst in the reunion of the last living Dolls.

Beyond verifying his obvious status as an auteur director and stop-motion pioneer, what stood out to me was Burton's relentless work ethic as an illustrator, producing hundreds upon hundreds of sketchbooks over the years, as well as his unique penmanship.
