Dude, I asked Ben if he had any photos of Detroit buildings he could send me and he gave me stack of old postcards (including two of the depot).
Wait till you see the photoshop hackjob I did with them. I recreated that old Metropolis collage Bilinsky did to promote the film in France.
There were some weak spots where I had to use shit like the Sacred Heart Academy or Central High School, so I've been buying more that were a better fit to replace those areas (like the Maccabees building, the YMCA, Detroit News Building, the G.A.R. building, and shitloads of various Detroit bridges so I can try to recreate the causeways and connection on the original collage).
I'd love to see all of these buildings in person, but from what I've gathered online it would probably make me cry to see them in their present condition (especially the G.A.R. building).
I've got 3 of the Masonic Temple (the largest Masonic structure in the world). That joint used to have it's own Barber shop and Florist shop inside during it's heyday. Fucking sad. |

shit, i just think it's funny that you even had one. how crazy is that? they closed the place down around 1988, i think. can you believe that the top 6 or 8 floors (i've forgotten which) were NEVER occupied by anyone the whole time it was open. chuck did it (and me) a favor and brought it back to life for a minute, sans the hundreds of broken windows and crumbling facade of its current condition. i've loved this building my entire life. |

It also covers 21 acres and was erected at a cost of $15,000,000. I thought "New" was part of the name of the building, but apparently my postcard is from 1913 so I guess it was "new" back then. |

the old train station is also on michigan avenue, so most of the people who attended this show had to drive past it on the way there. |

Really sad. I wouldn't recognize a building from Austin save the Capital, yet I just realized that's the New Michigan Central Station in the background (at least that's what it's called on my postcard). It will be appearing on one of my posters coming up. Nice touch instead of just drawing some generic building. |

Big hands mean that your dick looks small when you jerk off.
You seem to be pretty sensitive about it, Jake was only giving his opinion.

SORRRY, sheesh. That hand looks a little out of proportion! I'm very proud of you for getting your first professional job the year I was born. And yeah, the drawing style REMINDED ME of Bob Burden (Ripped off from? Nope, no sir, nope. Like, the shading on the clothes and stuff, the folds...) Anyway, had I started working as an infant child would I have more room to talk? And what do big hands mean? In this case it looks like it means acromegaly or gigantism. Not you, the guy in the green suit. That could change if what you say about every drawing being a self portrait is true... although you could also be a hot chick, a green Michael Jackson, Frankenstein's monster, Lenin or a tall ship. I don't know. I'm never commenting on how a hand is drawn again, or comparing someone to an artist I like.
And please, go to town: http://www.gigposters.com/posters.php?poster=47163
(I drew the hoof a little big in this one) |

Oh, Bob Burden. The Flaming Carrot guy? Yeah, he's alright. Sure - if you want to think I copied this from Bob Burden - that's alright with me. I like huge hands. I have enormous hands. Every drawing is a self-portrait. And you know what big hands mean. |

What's your point exactly? I'm copying Bob Burden - I don't even know who that is? It's kind of funny, because I looked at your profile and I got my first professional job the year you were born. |

looks kinda... wonky (?) to me. Like the dude's hand is kinda huge and the drawing style reminds me of Bob Burden.
I just used a personal variant of that font tho. |
