IF: Eighties

(Click to enlarge)


Okay! I am feeling a lot better today
and fired up my engines to the max gear to
serve you with this IF submission. And after
a couple of rather meager days and posts I am glad
to come up with something better today.

And as you may have noticed, I took out
my blog header because I found it too
otrusive. Unfortunately, I can´t change
the blog titles size somehow - Blogger really
hates me personally recently. There are
many occasions where it simply won´t let me
upload images, or apply changes to the
layout. Anyways, no header, but it makes
the new posts stand out a lot better.

And last but not least; thanks everybody
for the comments as always, but in the last
time I didn´t have much power to answer
to a lot of them. I hope you don´t think
I am a selfish arrogant old
dirty german sauerkraut bastard, it´s
just, you know - real life!

One of my absolute 80ies pop

Billy Ocean - When The Going Gets Tough

this is awesome, although my personal favorite Billy Ocean song is "Get Out of my Dreams (And Into my Car)".

Also, "Sauerkraut Bastard" would make a great name for a band.

You are totally a selfish arrogant old dirty german sauerkraut bastard. That is what makes your art so good.
That and your unsurpassed love for billy ocean.

There's something about this that I like. I'm a big fan of the way you add linework to denote texture, especially on the floor.
