Back in Black T-Shirt by Godmachine
Aziz a.k.a. Godmachine is an illustrator based out of Wales, UK, with some seriously nasty skills. Growing up and working as an electrician and bricklayer as a young lad, it was skateboard graphics through which he rekindled his connection to art. Influenced by artists such as Horsebites, Gieger, Aubrey Beardlsy, Klimt, and Richard James, it is probably fair to say that he does a bit of influencing himself these days. As a freelance artist Godmachine’s art graces skateboards and band merchandise such as t-shirts, album covers and posters. Even though he considers himself old-school, he does most of his sketching straight on the computer these days.
I think t-shirt illustrations such as the one show above are a great example his work and what I personally like: gory, detailed illustrations. His work in general is quite dark, and this is the essence of his appeal I think – at least for a certain type of audience.
If you haven’t done so already, check out Godmachine’s website or blog and put some food on his table by buying his stuff from his store. There are also a number of interview with Godmachine if you want a deeper look at who he is:

Untitled (Zombie Head) by Scott Move Jim Phillips on acid – that’s kind of what the art of Scott Move reminds me of, and why I was so excited when he got in touch with me. The interwoven imagery looks almost like the T-2000 burning…

You really need to check out Happy Pencil, the site of one Cam De Leon, an artist in California. His art is the kind of stuff I can personally really get into; kind of perverted, raunchy, voyeuristic, and oozing with dark humor. The above drawing…
