Trent with beard photo from 1998?????
I was looking through the booklet of The Fragile vinyl copy and then I saw this(CRAZY):
An entire years worth of work and my fingers are hurting 🫶🏻
I decided last summer that I was going to undertake this project and it’s finally done (for now…)
Made with cotton dmc thread from my own patterns, 50x50 stitches each.
I might decide to do some of the other projects like Ghosts and some of the remix albums and singles. (The 5IN single cover is one of my favorites)
But for now, I’ll move on to another project I’ve been waiting to start.
Local shop haul this morning!
Check out this batch from my local record shop this morning. Someone gave up some greats. I hope they enjoyed them.
The Slip diamond painting
Finally finished my glorified color by number of The Slip!
It's around 50x50 cm/20x20 in
I'm barely starting on one of Bad Witch =_=
Trent Reznor being cried upon by Robert Smith because he actually showed up at a party that Robert invited him to. Kindness and amazement can be emotional.
Alternative Press portrait
I have FINALLY finished my latest piece!
Frustratingly this one has taken me three times as long as they normally take me due to issues with my disability but it’s finally finished now!
It’s a portrait of Trent Reznor in the January 2002 issue of Alternative Press magazine drawn in Prismacolor and Faber Castell pencils.
As always, prints are available via DM ☺️
Anyone have a higher res version of this picture OR information on the clothing Trent is wearing here?
I would like to recreate this outfit. The chain knee pads in particular are interesting. Looks like some sort of pouched military vest too?
The Big Come Down is one of the most unsettling songs Trent has written
especially the vocals, this is one of the only times he sounds this scared or disturbed. this whole song is top tier honestly, that part where it comes back in the end with the gorgeous riff is absurdly good. but yeah the only songs that I think are just as suspenseful would be Eraser or Black Noise, what other songs feel like this in your opinion?
Trent using a Virus B for the Fragile Production.
Stumbled upon this photo inside of the Fragile Vinyl Booklet. You can notice a lot of things in this photo. The Virus B and the Jim Rose Circus shirt he is wearing, and a depressed man in the background. I am a huge nine inch nails researcher but I can't seem to figure out who that is.
Note: Trent looks focused af.
Found in the wild
I went to a 156/Silence show at a place called Preserving Underground in New Kensington, PA last weekend. The wife and I browsed around the record store prior to the show not really intending on buying anything. We ended up buying so many CDs...and this beautiful cassette! A little edge wear on the sleeve, but this specimen seems like it was never played, or played a minimal amount of times.
Welcome Oblivion - How to Destroy Angels
I have listened to the album by Trent & co again for about the 5th time.
It is a good album.
The vocals are solid and I really appreciate the production from a production standpoint.
It builds on the IP of NIN with possibly a little more risk taking creatively.
I think the Reznor sound is here but with some of his most fleshed out sonic experiences in the production side of Ross & Reznor since the 90s. Especially when you consider the cohesiveness and direction of the sound minus a couple stand out tracks that escape the album's general direction in terms of production.
I heavily suggest giving this album a listen.
It's unique and accessible. I could see Halsey or other pop singers doing this album but sadly it was released with indie level promotion.
Give it a few listens.
Peace ✌️.
Some of my old Cds
Got all my old cds out earlier for the kids to have a look through, realised the cd player is broken so they're all going away again. Snapped a quick pic of my NiN collection.
