Peel It Back portrait
My latest piece 🤍 It is a Prismacolor portrait of Trent Reznor on the Peel It Back tour in 2026, the stunning reference photo was taken in San Diego by u/skyscraperiloveyou on Reddit.
A challenging piece as I’m still learning to draw portraits and skin tone but it was a fun personal project to try.
It was drawn using Prismacolor coloured pencils on my favourite Strathmore toned tan mixed media paper which is fantastic for blending coloured pencils on.
Prints will be available of this piece alongside my other works ✨
What's the distorted imagery in the current / Peel it Back merch?
I like the vibe but I'm wondering specifically what the images actually are. Obviously one of them's a crowd shot - that seems straightforward enough. But what's going on in this one, for example? Anyone recognise anything? I feel like I'm squinting at Videodrome.
Saw others posting their collections, here's mine as a younger fan :)
In the 90s, I never realized Caught a Lite Sneeze was a jilted ex diss track
Happy 250 years, America!
Got this print night one of the Physical World tour in Chicago. It’s above my toilet so when anyone comes to pee they have to see the hidden details.
Don’t judge for the placement. It already got ruined during a move while there was a torrential downpour 😔

youtu.beRight Where It Belongs
I (43M) have always been a metal fan, but somehow, NIN escaped me when I was younger. I have since rectified that, and oh my, did I miss out earlier. I haven't felt this much emotion from a song since I first heard APC The Noose.
FYI - posters are starting to arrive, and I have no idea what genius decided this was how to ship them…
I think got lucky, but ya’ll might want to start preparing yourselves for how fucked some of these are going to be at arrival.
I made Trent Renzor in Football Manager
his current hairstyle isn't in the game so i had to use what I found.
Handmade NIN metal keytags
Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a great summer.
I've had quite a few people reach out recently asking if these are still available, so I figured I'd make an updated post.
I still have a number of my sand-cast NIN key tags available, and I can also make additional ones as inventory runs low.
Current inventory/pricing:
Copper — $55
Bronze (plain finish) — $65
Bronze ("cornstarch" finish) — $65
Sterling Silver — $250
These are sand cast from an impression I took of an original tour merch key tag. I bought a couple of the official ones years ago (around 2018), but unfortunately they didn't hold up well with regular use. I kept one unused in its bag, and that's the one I used to create these castings.
Every piece is individually cast, cleaned up, and finished by hand in my shop.
I'm located in Salt Lake City, so local pickup is available. I've also shipped these all over the world without any issues. If you're interested or have any questions, send me a DM.
I know some people have mixed feelings about these, and I completely respect that. My intention has never been to flood the subreddit with sales posts, which is why I only repost them occasionally when enough people ask if they're still available. Since there isn't currently an official equivalent available, I enjoy making something durable that fellow fans can actually carry every day.
As always, I have a few "seconds" available at a discount if you don't mind a small cosmetic imperfection. If that's your thing, feel free to message me—we'll find one that works for you.
Thanks everyone!
What’s the story behind Ian Astbury appearing on Bad Witch?
Huge Cult fan from back in the day just noticed that Ian Astbury provided backing vocals on Bad Witch. Anyone know how that came about? He’s had a number of other guests and cameos from time to time but they always seem to have some other past connection. But I don’t see that Trent ever contributed to any Cult track or release so this one seemed completely out of the blue.
Closer to Cob
Not mine. Found on Facebook so not sure who to credit. If it’s yours, let me know!
NIN CD Collection So Far.
First time on the sub and wanted to share my collection so far. Out of all the bands I have CDs for at the moment I have the most from NIN. 2nd favorite band besides Tool but I only have Ænima and Fear Inoculum at the moment. Plan on collecting main albums/EPs first before moving onto the Remix albums and Singles. Up next would be the Slip and Hesitation Marks. Only been CD Collecting for 2 months or so so making Pretty good pace.
Did anyone else notice this???
It took me so long to notice. Look, they're the same textures, with the same divisions and sizes. That's normal, AV is the direct sequel to NTAE in the trilogy, but anyway, it's interesting to think about what this means.
The cover of AV is a panel, and these textures from NTAE continue on the cover of AV, which leads me to believe that the cover of NTAE is a "cleaner" and less grimy version of the same panel. Well, it's just interpretation. What do you think?
Old passes for anyone interested
Going through my crawlspace from hell and I find my old camera roadcase from back when I used to do the photo thing - anyhoo here’s a couple pics of my NIN passes if anyone cares , lol
Pretty sure I had a couple lights in the sky ones too but I think I gave them away to someone
I think I shot them 5 x in all , maybe it was 4 ?
Anyway Trent would have a box marked off on the floor directly in front of of him that you werent allowed to enter - maybe had equipment there that was passed up between songs or maybe he didn’t want pics up his nose :)
It was always so damn exciting to be in the pit for those 1st 3 songs even if it was a smoke and strobe fest :)
What song is about sex without saying it is about sex ?
I am playing Kult RPG on table with friends.
Kult is a horror game.
This specific scenario will be about passion, sex and empowerment with sex.
Closer is obvious but too straight forward as introducing music but do you think about another track ?
