<span style="font-family: inherit;">Season Zero is an art & illustration studio I discovered based in Germany. They've won numerous awards for their artwork in the music industry and produce original, striking designs. I caught up with M<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 18px;">atthias to chat about their work. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b>1) As musicians yourselves, did you always want to work on artwork
within the music industry? </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started to make music about 14 years
ago. Since the bands I've played in always had the ambition to release
music it was necessary to have an artwork and cover for our demos. So the
first cover artwork I made was for my own bands. By playing live
shows and meeting other bands I had the opportunity to do this for other local
and underground bands. 10 years ago I began to work by my company name "Season
Zero“ and continued to work for bands during my studies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Close to my final
exams I got a phone call asking me if I would like to do an artwork for
Universal Music Germany – it was an amazing opportunity for me to then go freelance after I did my bachelor thesis in Media Design. It was kind of a natural
development and I’m thankful that so many bands and musicians gave me their
trust, thereby allowing me to build up a portfolio over the years. One
thing led to another and major bands and labels joined the ride.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It might seem a bit strange but the last few projects I’ve
been working on reflect the way in which I see my job quite well! I was working on
the new album of Schwarzer Engel (a german Dark Metal/Gothic band) and for
Glasperlenspiel (popular german Pop/Electro duo) – to name a few. Totally
different styles, genres and labels – but that’s what makes it so
exciting: every project has a different approach in style and feeling . It was always my goal to be able to translate any kind of design to fit the
music of a band or musician. I'm
working for underground Metal bands, as well as pop acts at the same time – which is cool. Through this I get the chance to
venture into all kinds of different styles and artworks!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not really. If I like the music of the artist I’m working
for I tend to listen to it while I'm working – but most of the time their music
is still in process when I start to work on the designs. Though my
musicial roots are rock/metal, nowadays I’m listening to a wide range of
music like Folk, Jazz, Electro… for me the genre
doesn’t really matter. It’s all about the song itself – either it’s good
or not. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m a huge fan of traditional sign makers. I always try to find a way to see some kind of an image in
the word that has to be transformed into a logotype or brand. It’s fascinating
how every word bears it’s own potential to work with. Every letter has to
be treated uniquely, thus it’s like a design micro- cosmos where
every line, space and dimensions matters. </div>

I found Erics work via Instagram and was immediately drawn to his stylish, detailed work. Eric kindly took the time to answer some questions and share some information behind his work!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This really depends on the mood I'm in, and the time of the
day, but I find music very important. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I won't start doing anything before there's music on. Could
be something really relaxed, or dark, uplifting or loud. When I'm doing album
design or a festival poster I always listen to the band or acts. It helps me to
get into the right vibe. I used to be in a punk band for years, so my roots is guitar
based music. At the same time I've been enjoying all sorts of styles of music.
From very experimental jazz electro to plain in your face oldschool punk. I'm
always searching for new music, and like discovering new stuff.</span></div>

These are just some of my favorites from the display, there are so many interesting and cool designs to be seen, I won't give it all away! The collection is a mixture of mediums including oil paintings, watercolors, paint layering on real skulls and airbrushing. Each piece of art work is completely new which has been made especially for the exhibition, making it a must see. I find there's something incredibly relaxing about wandering around an exhibit space and it always feeds my creativity.</div>

Recently I heard about the fantastic duo that are The Tattooed Bakers. Given my love of tattoos and baking (eating baked goods) I decided to check out the much talked about cake, which is described as bespoke edible art. I instantly fell in love with their unicorn cake, and after spending a while both drooling and feeling intrigued by their website gallery I thought I'd see if they would be up for an interview. The Tattooed Bakers kindly agreed to tell us a bit more about their work!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We wanted to create a brand that deviated as much as
possible from traditional pretty cakes, and to push the boundary of what can be
done in cake - essentially we want to be the UK's answer to Cake Boss!!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">When
did you start baking? What was your first baking job?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We started baking cakes in 2011 in a bit of an
unconventional way! We started a company called "Cake Doggy Dog' (<a href="http://www.cakedoggydog.com/" target="_blank">www.cakedoggydog.com</a>) that
make completely bespoke cakes to look like our customers dogs! We
found that it was too niche, so we started Tattooed Bakers so that we could
branch out into different subject matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Could you tell us a little more about Cake Doggy Dog?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The idea behind Cake Doggy Dog is that we create a completely bespoke cake version of your dog! We ask our customers to send as many photos as possible, and choose the position they'd like their cake-dog to be in and any distinguishing features of their pet so that we can make them as life-like and personal as possible. It's a bit of an unusual concept! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

would you describe your cake style?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Different, exploratory and we approach cakes from
an artistic point of view rather than a "cake-maker's"
- neither of us are "trained" cake-makers so we've learnt
to use cake and sugarpaste in a way that works for us and our creations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We approach our cakes with an attitude that anything and
everything can be made into a cake - and try and do things that haven't been
done before (as much as possible!) It sounds really naff, but when we create
our sculpted cakes we sort of forget that its cake and concentrate on making
something that will make people say "Wow" first and then
"That's a cake?" second. Baking and Cake Artistry has become
such a massive thing over the last few years, it's really about creating
something innovative now - I think people want to see something that they can't
make at home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We've recently had a few commissions for
portrait cakes - these are definitely the most challenging! Ensuring that the
cake looks like person it's supposed to be, but also making sure that it has
some character to it is pretty challenging! We've recently made one that we
can't say too much about, for a documentary - that was pretty nerve wracking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It’s always such an amazing atmosphere at a show like this
with my view from the photo pit. The security guards in good spirit as they
engage in banter with the photographers, and pass cups of water to the thirsty
front barrier clingers; which by this point looking rather red faced from
Trivium’s set, but clearly not budging - for they have made it this far. The
sold out venue goes pitch black, and all attention is on the stage as
Killswitch Engage appear to soundtrack ‘Eye of the Tiger’ - which couldn’t be
more befitting to the performance as they certainly didn’t pull any punches.</div>

Everyone, quite frankly, goes mental as the eccentric Adam D
runs across the stage in his “daisy dukes”. Clearly he will be up to his usual
stage antics! As the intro fades they blast straight into ‘A Bid Farewell’, the
whole of Brixton Academy is consumed with a spectacular lighting display and
eruption of energy.</div>

Jesse Leach owns the stage, his vocals - effortless, and his
engaging with the crowd – humble, as he nails tracks from the Howard Jones era.
It’s evident they have moved forward, and Jesse proves he is most certainly one
of the most formidable frontmen in metal. From their latest album ‘Disarm the
Descent’, tracks ‘New Awakening’ and ‘In Due Time’ sit perfectly in the set
alongside the Killswitch classics. Adam D provides the usual comedy moments,
along with the memorable riffs that are the foundation of their sound, yet his
strong stage presence doesn’t detract from Jesse. Duelling guitars and fierce
drumming complete the perfect package. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think its about 2 years. <span style="line-height: 115%;">I
got into tattooing as I loved getting tattooed myself. I have a masters in
animation but decided to get into fashion. I designed jewellery for
Topman for 3 years, but it was too corporate! I'm not good with authority....
So I got an apprenticeship in a studio in Essex and quit everything, moved back home, and worked my
ass off!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This weekend I visited the Stolen Space Gallery in Whitechapel, London. Based just off Whitechapel High Street, Stolen Space is a gallery showcasing artists which have been labelled as 'Underground Art', 'Street Art and 'Urban Art'. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love discovering new artists and galleries and this certainly didn't disappoint. The current exhibition entitled 'Back to Black' by <span style="background-color: white; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Christian Guemy, aka street artist C215, who has been described as 'France's answer to Banksy, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">has drawn inspiration from his travels and the work he has produced seeks to reflect upon the experiences he has been met with on his excursions.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">There was also exclusive signed copies of The Art of D-Face book 'One Man and his dog' and merchandise in the gallery.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back in the heydey of Myspace I connected with a lovely lady
named Marie who had some pretty cool gig pictures. I've followed her work ever
since and it's been amazing seeing her work evolve. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Over the past few years Marie has photographed countless shows, including being an accredited photographer for Guns 'N Roses, Iron Maiden, Alice in Chains, Mötley Crüe, Rammstein, Kiss, Slipknot, and ZZ Top to name a few.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Music is a big influence for me and Rock 'n' Needle and
through designing the mens range (which will be going live on the Rock 'n'
Needle website very soon) I thought it only a natural fit to ask Marie to be
the Rock 'n' Needle music photographer for the blog. Marie will be posting from
gigs she's covered along with her awesome pictures! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Trivium and Killswitch Engage sold out gig in London.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After some awful rainy weather (even by London’s usual
standards) I went along to the Brixton Academy on a very sunny, yet icy cold
day to shoot possibly the biggest co-headliner show in recent metal history -
Trivium and Killswitch Engage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A sold-out show for this four band bill, and the venue was
buzzing despite the early doors. Following on from openers Battlecross, and
Miss May I, the stage transformed into a polar-ice setting complete with CO2
blasting cannons. And the lighting? Incredible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their twelve song set, taken from their latest album ‘<b>Vengeance Falls</b>’.
Hard-core fans down the front were a little rowdy from the get-go, while
further back they seemed to find the show a little lacklustre, maybe it was the
awful sound mix that people had to get over? Old favourites like ‘<b>Gunshot</b>’
and anthemic set closer ‘<b>Pull Harder</b>’ united everyone in a sing-along,
but for me, the stand out song was the beautifully inspiring ‘<b>Shogun</b>’,
during which artificial snow fell making it like a winter wonderland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst browsing Instagram with the usual hashtags, I noticed a tattoo design which really stood out. I clicked on to it and discovered the wonderful Instagram account of London based tattoo artist <span style="line-height: 115%;">Thomas
Carli Jarlier from Chiswick Tattoo Studio - Noire Ink. Browsing his designs I decided I had to interview him to find out more about his work and the new tattoo studio. Tom kindly agreed to take the time out to have a chat about his work! </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been
tattooing for 6 years now, since the age of 21. I have always been a fan of
tattoo art, to the point that I got my full sleeve done as soon as I was old enough. It all started with my passion for drawing since a very young age.
My mother is a painter and professor of art, so she was a big influence for my
interest in visual arts. For me, drawing and tattooing go hand in hand,
you cannot be a good tattooist until you are a good artist. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Noire ink was founded in September 2013. The idea to open my own tattoo studio had been on the horizon for a couple of years before I actually got to launch it. Thanks to
such great tattoo artists such as Stephane Chaudesaigues, Duane Robinson and Paul
Naylor, who guided me through the process, I was able to become an independent
artist. It has also become possible thanks to support and input of my wife, who
is developing the business together with me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a large
scale, inspiration is everywhere! I love seeing the fantastic work of my favourite
tattoo artists, like Dimitry Samohin, Oleg Shepelenko (crazy good Russians!),
Nikko Hurtado and picking up some of the techniques they use. I absolutely
adore Marvel comics, and tattooing its characters if one of the most fun things
to do. As for the realism style, the masterpieces by Michelangelo are a great
source of inspiration. I also enjoy working in Polka-trash, one of the trends
in tattooing nowadays. Its originators Volko Merschky and Simone Pfaff have
done some mind-blowing works that really set my brain into the creativity
mode..<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have lost
the count of my tattoos. Lots. There is still some space on my body that I keep
for my tattooist friends. I have also done most part of my tattoos myself: I
have tattooed my own legs. It is a great way to understand tattooing, before
you touch other persons skin!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Music is a
massive part of the tattoo process, isn’t it? There should be something that
overpowers the buzz of the machine (even though my rotary isn't too noisy)! My
current favorite is heavy bluesy funk. It might not be typical of tattoo parlors,
but I love working with D’Angelo in the background. Groovy and funky is my
choice. I am also a professional drummer (with a degree in that stuff..), so
music is among my main inspirations. If I have a long session of tattooing, I
can turn on Big Bang Theory series at some point for a change :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was such a fantastic day and I left with a bag full of business cards and a ton of inspiration! Even if you don't have any tattoos (like myself) I still highly recommend a visit to the convention. There's bands, delicious food and so many interesting stalls displaying sketchbooks from artists around the world.</span></div>
