I'm a few days late on this!! Happy 100th Birthday to #NOSFERATU!!! . Nosferatu premiered on March 4th, 1922 at the Berlin Zoological Garden, for a large society event - Das Fest des Nosferatu. The movie was directed by #FWMurnau & starred #MaxSchreck. . FUN FACT: The #BramStoker estate sued for copyright infringement & had all but a few copies of the film destroyed. Yet it survived & became part of the zeitgeist of horror films & pop culture. . If you couldn't tell I'm a BIG FAN of classic horror movies... . In 2014, I designed an art print of NOSFERATU for my solo show #SCREAMWITHME at @GalerieF. I drew NOS in profile with another drawing of his skeleton as a #glowinthedark layer. That was a lot of fun (and a lot of work)! Being someone who tries to use every part of the buffalo, I used the artwork for a patch, enamel pin (collab with @yesterdays.co), & a keychain! You can all that in my SHOP! . In 2019, I was commissioned by @kirkhammett and his management to create 2 posters for his #romitsalive at the @romtoronto in Canada! I knew NOS was a favorite of Kirk's so I pitched the vampire lurching over the #RoyalOntarioMuseum with a bunch of bats flying around. It worked! Kirk's social media dude asked if I knew the ROM had a permanent bat exhibit. No, I didn't. I was too dumb to lie. . @dj_jefecita and I got flown out to check out the exhibit and catch Hammett and Rob Trujilo's #theweddingband perform. Funny enough we ended up meeting the guys for breakfast while we were there. They also made ltd edition guitar picks with my art on them! SO CRAZY!!! . If you want to see the making of videos that @t_moorfilms made of me working on those posters - go here https://vimeo.com/350812432 . Last is the next piece I'm working on. It's just a sketch. I'm putting together a series of bat-related pieces for a new set of flash or if all else fails I can use it as another business card like the last post - done in the same style. . . . . . #screenprint #illustration #worldwired #detail #darkartist #design #theskullreserve #brianewing #brianewingfiendclub #illustration #kirkhammettfans #RobTrujilo #MetFamily #kirkhammett #CountOrlok #KirkVonHammett #fearfestevil (at Wisborg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2SlAHOPPA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kirk Hammett’s collection is good, but it’s not as good as Del Toro’s. #romitsalive #toronto #canada #lego #legosteverachel. (at Royal Ontario Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wxxTuBSoY/?igshid=bf2jqrhm4gvm

So it appears that I'm the new Emily in the firm. Emily was the one who was responsible for taking clients out to museums, restaurants, and other cultural locations in the city. So for my first task as Emily, I took the clients to see the member-exclusive preview of the upcoming It's Alive! Classic Horror and Sci-Fi Art from the Kirk Hammett Collection at the ROM. I don't particularly like horror films, but one can't help but admire the cultural impact that these pictures had. Early classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy that came out during the Great Depression in early 1930s paved the way for more modern classics like Alien and Predator. You'll also notice that Boris Karloff was the biggest horror actor during the period. I always think of horror films as allegories for the oppressive and frightening events that transpire in the real world. 👻 #ROMItsAlive (at Royal Ontario Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1VO8snNnv/?igshid=k7lfopqcbg00

Yesterday was the 99th Anniversary of the release of #NOSFERATU !!!! Release date: March 4th, 1922 Director: #FWMurnau . This was one of the first #horrormovies to make an impression on me as a kid. Every Saturday morning I would watch #ShockTheater that was hosted by #TolouseNoNeck I LOVED that show! They aired edited horror movies. Mostly B or C grade. But sometimes they had gems like #NOSFERATU ! . Scroll through and you'll see various pieces where I drew #CountOrlok! . This print was done for my solo show #ScreamWithMe at @GalerieF back in 2014. I did a regular and variant. They both #glowinthedark. I guess that style inspired some folks to make millions...grumblegrumble. . Like a good hustler - I repurposed the art for an #embroideredpatch . In 2016 this became an #enamelpin collab with @YESTERDAYS.CO . They're long sold out. I hope to bring these back! The good folks at #YESTERDAYS even got a photo of @benfransham #Petyr from #WhatWeDointheShadows holding the pin! That made my year!!! THANKS @YESTERDAYS.CO !!! . I also drew him up as a piece of #tattooflash. When the world unfucks itself I'll start tattooing again! . Then, in 2019, I got hired by @KirkHammett @fearfestevil to design a poster for his other band #TheWeddingBand They played a private show at @cosmomusic and for his traveling exhibit #ROMITSALIVE at @romtoronto We both dig NOSFERATU and the original Spanish movie poster was a prized possession in the collection. The idea I presented to him was that Nosferatu was looming over the @romtoronto #RoyalOntarioMuseum - as if finally awakened after hundreds of years of sleep. And since the ROM has a well-known exhibit on bats I thought it would be cool to have vampire bat's escaping - ready to wreak havoc and do thy master's bidding. . In 2020 I collab'd with @UVDToys to produce the image as a keychain for the 2020 conventions...that got canceled. Ah well. At least we'll be releasing the #GHOSTBONER toy SOON!!! . I hope to do more with the character in 2021!!! . . **I have some of these pieces available in my shop. LEENK EEN BOYO . . #Dracula #darkartists #brianewing #illustration #KirkHammett #METALLICA #kirkvonhammett #maxschreck #vampire (at Highgate Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMCh3dsFtKL/?igshid=4eefir9ewida

A few months back I was commissioned by @KirkHammett @fearfestevil and his management to design the #poster for his upcoming exhibit with the @romtoronto #ROMITSALIVE! The project went from one piece to two pieces after a few excited discussions. (My 15 year old self has been freaking out these past couple of months!!) . I teamed up with Tony Moorman @t_moorfilms of @making_it_pictures fame to produce 2 process videos showing off how the posters were made. . Here’s the second video we made. #ITSALIVE - It was fun to imagine Kirk in the anatomical style. After some back and forth with management we found a great photo that came across as dark (but not cheesy). After designing the #EmmaRuthRundle poster I wanted to bring more illustration to the foreground on pieces like this. I was able to do that with the rats and bats. Since there were #vampirebats in the #NOSFERATU poster I wanted to bring them into the this piece. And since #rats are iconic in depicting Nosferatu I thought that would be cool to include as well. I imagined as if the subject were awakening from a long sleep in their crypt. Oh - I ended up designing the “IT’S ALIVE” logo too!! . Creating the collage was a lot of fun too. There might be a few #eastereggs hidden in the details! So stoked that this was made available at the @romtoronto!!! I (sorta) made it into a MUSEUM!!!! . The final art prints will be available from my shop SOON!!!! I’m SERIOUS this time!!! . I’ll only have a few copies so sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already!!! .
