A recent mixed media collage created on pages from a heavily distressed book titled, "Rastatt." It's a German text from 1965 with dozens of pencil sketch cityscapes and handwritten captions. It started as a lovely little souvenir style scrapbook on the Rastatt district in Germany, but now I've got my grungy ink-stained hands on it ...
The inspiration came from snippets of apocalyptic song lyrics – the Vincent Price monologue in Michael Jackson's Thriller and Placebo's Unisex – which then, of course, led to thoughts of ZoMBiES and several hours of ruminating on my Zombie Escape Plan while cutting, pasting, inking and drawing this kitschy little number, a nod to the "stay safe during nuclear fallout" propaganda from the 1950s.
