"Our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
Beyond repair, down in despair
Our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the influx of technology
I realize the politics of ecstasy"

I haven't watched Edgerunners (I'll get to it) people say it's great. Good time to repost those steelbook covers I did for CP2077 :)

/3- Maelstrom /4- Valentinos
1/3 -Cyberpunk as a genre was never a celebration of technology. The end of 70s was the birth of modern corporate power and modern perception of technological change.
Cyberpunk as a reaction to that, projected a vision of the future as a hyperbole of the fears about the present.
I've got the greenlight from Editora Aleph to produce a print run of posters with the cover illlustrations I did for their edition of William Gibson's Neuromancer/Sprawl Trilogy. I just want to read the room before going in, who would be interested, what size? screenprint?
My first Magic The Gathering card. I was commissioned to create my own version of the Persistent Petitioners card. Kinda cool that they gave it a unique quote around my desserts obsession - I believe you have a chance to get the card as a secret bonus on various Secret Lair packs

1/2 A repost, I havent showed much new material lately, I'll write some insight about that and the very troubled development of the new book next year>
Pre-orders for the Neuromancer set are up at {link_on_profile}, for a reasonable amount of gold-pressed latinum. This will be the *only* print run, but the number is open-ended. pre-orders end the 15th of May.
1/5 _Ministry of Information-File MT712 _Faction:The Mutants _Location:Holosi IV / RCP
_After the Multi-Wars and Nuclear Night, The Machine continued expanding and reconstructing the districts of Robo-City Prime. The city grew higher, blockswere built on top of the old city.
2/3 -Mega-corporations more powerful than any government, fascist police serving the status quo and the upper class,
a population that feeling so powerless to change anything turns from nihilism to mindless hedonism.
This was before the whole nft scam exploded - I'm saying cause im sure some will see some trend similarities - and yes I said fuck nfts from day one, surprise surprise the deathburger coin never plummets
3/3 -My entertainment, my time, my gain.
Idealism? nah, everybody has a price.
Ideology? uh, you are a radical.
Nothing can be changed, nothing should be changed, please just have some of this neon candy, it's terrific.
"Rats repeat their feast
Queen will be quite pleased
All your children went astray
Pay the price for ignorance
Praise the glorious race of rats
One by one they'll join their dance
Hungry souls they shall be fed
Praise the wisdom of the rats"
-Demons & Wizards - The Whistler
Neon Rising appreciation time- 216 pages of cyberpunk / illustrations / narrative / lore - set in the Future is Now universe- Printed in Barcelona - Only at the Citadel / Link profile. 5th Edition - We are The Future.
1/3 -Ministry of Information File RB642 -Name:The Red Bastard -Born in L3n1ngrad /Eastern Frontier Federation -One of the leaders of the Rebellion of The Bastards that resulted in a massive worker uprising across the oil camps and rigs across the outer ring of the Federation.
"Under the cross,
The revelations of a narcissistic mind
Harbored resentment for the joys of humankind
Under the cross, wake up
And put out the thorns from your heart
Wake up, or sleep with the Damned"
{Soen - Orison}
1/2 - Ministry of Information -File RK653
-Name: Rei Kunoichi
-Born: Walled City of Otsû / Harajuku Islands
The feared Executioner of the Shogun, Rei was once a loyal servant to the Crimson Throne. But in his descent to madness Emperor Tenji Murakami started to suspect everyone.
Ministry of Information -File SZ457 -Name: Li "Sai" Zhang -Born in Robo-City Prime/Robotic Union -Leader of the rebel group known as the Enemies of Reality.
"In the Court of the Laundry King" - Repost of a piece that took me forever, but most likely won't be in the new book. Sometimes happens. You didn't think laundry and cyberpunk could be a thing, maybe.
Side note, the Sai Zhang statue continues development. No release date yet, but this is the artwork for the front of the box, which is a cleaned-up/finished version of the design sketch I made. - Ink on paper, color photoshop
3/5 - One of the four steelbook covers for Cyberunk 2077. This one for Tyger Claws. There were a few challenges here, one they wanted me to do 1 cover fo each gang but they barely gave me any visual references of how things looked like, but cool part is that gave me more freedom.
Hello Robo-Citizens. The Machine says: let's post some shall we? So here is a call back to some work I did for Riot Games a couple years ago. Prob the most chill version of VI you've seen :)
The Ministry Informs // Neon Rising is sold out at the moment, a reprint (5th) is in the works - no date yet, but I do have a number of copies here that I need to review and I will put on the store probably in a couple weeks. + chances of a local comic-con this year :)
I'm removing a number of followers, anyone related to the N and the other 2 letters, etc - If you followed my account are into that save me some time and unfollow - Reason: The way the algorithm works I'm just going into a rabbit hole and I want to build a healthy audience.
Imagine the brain damage you need to have, to think that me of all people would do that.
multiple that by 3 when you see that what I posted is like work that is 5 years old
just how much of a problem is visual iliteracy when it comes to this whole issue
1/5 Repost - Some client work from the past I'm fond of. Social media promo art for the Ghost in the Shell live action. Mediocre movie, but I thought Batou was great both actor and design.
I need to return to this series- when my schedule is not a nightmare. The idea was to do characters with a cowboy shot (or american) and each character has a lot of a one thing (many knifes, many bombs, many flutes) + limited color palette.
I did a loading screen for the current Fortnite Season- This character named Megalo Don and his ship in the wasteland.
Also the original artwork is up on the store (l1nk profile) as part of the last originals drop.
Since it's everywhere now, I reiterate what I said: I won't participate in the NFT thing. Don't like art galleries why should I like this, goes against everything I've built all these years. It's just a move to boost the crypto currency of a few billionaries.
And my last post on this gig (maybe), the standalone 3 Sessions > Vi illustrations, same background with changing light and activities - with
@riotgamesmusic
