Hello. It’s been a while. I drew this picture of Placebo from 1998. Since I was last here I have become very interested in Placebo, Shudder to Think, and Manic Street Preachers.
A marker style drawing of the band Placebo around 1998. Steve Hewitt, Brian Molko, and Stefan Olsdal sitting on a red couch. Brian is leaning his head on Steve’s shoulder and is holding his arm. Steve and Stefan wear black and Brian wears a dark red button up shirt.

A photo of the album cover for Te Whare Tiwekaweka by Marlong Williams (Navy record cover with white text and a white and navy drawing of a figure in a tall hat and dark clothes walking along a path toward a house) with my record player below. It is surrounded by music memorabilia and 45s and tapes.

I guess since I went through the trouble of doing some makeup, I’ll post my face before I take it all off.

Caroline Kingsbury at Club Dada, Dallas TX
A photo of Caroline Kingsbury on stage. She is singing into a microphone and she has her hand lifted above her head, creating a heart shape. There is a blue shadow across her eyes and the lighting is pink and warm. She is wearing a black body suit with dimensional fabric roses and leafy vines and a wide hot pink belt.

A lot of my pop culture drawings happen because I will randomly think of a moment from a movie or tv show and feel compelled. Nicole Kidman is so powerful in Eyes Wide Shut.
A drawing of Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut, waist up, wearing a white skintight tank top and looking severe and powerful. There is text at the bottom that says “if you men only knew” in a font that looks like old fashioned label tape in a lilac with black background. My website is on the side, brookeopiecreative.com

Helly from Severance

(If you saw this earlier, I fixed her face)
A drawing of Helly R from Severance leaning over the green and white cubicle wall. She is wearing a blue ribbed turtleneck and has dark red hair. She has an annoyed expression on her face and is gesturing with her hand. The text says “Go lick a boot, Mark” and it has my website in the corner.

A bad cartoon of two icky carrots wrapped around each other with eyes and mouths. There are words around them: “Too long have we waited… our flesh grows soft… entwined we wait for our release…”

Can you hear the gravel?
A drawing of Tom Waits from the waist up. He is wearing a navy suit jacket and grey button up with a brown fedora and looking all serious but twinkly eyed at the viewer. There is a light green background and dark green text that says “Hoist that rag” to the left of Tom.

A theatre marquee that reads: “SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE” The marquee is blue, yellow, and red, with curved neon lights. An exit sign with red lighting illuminating the textured ceiling. You can see a hall in the background and the top of a door on the left.

It arrived! Caroline Kingsbury’s EP I Really Don’t Care!
A photo of the 10” record cover for Caroline Kingsbury’s EP “I Really Don’t Care!” It features a photo of Caroline with pink and blue mullet and an 80s style skirt and blazer look holding a pink guitar and floating up into a beam of light. I’m holding the record, which is hot pink with a black label, pink heart, and her name is yellow cursive. The shelf also has the 1984 Rolling Stone magazine with Duran Duran on it and framed drawings of Duran Duran members above by Jane Sanders.

A white cropped tank top with a picture of Tony Soprano shirtless in a pool with a cigar in his mouth and photoshopped water and palm trees around him. The text on the shirt says: “Tony Soprano Girl Summer LETS EAT MORTADELLA AND PASTA, GO TO THERAPY, AND STAY IN OUR ROBE ALL DAY.”

Previous letter board quote, since I don’t think I ever shared it.
My hand holding a black framed letter board with black letters saying “SORRY WE HURT YOUR FIELD, MISTER.” A quote from A Hard Day’s Night starring the Beatles.

Time for a new movie quote on my little board.
My hand holding a black framed letter board with a white background and black letters that says “YOU, KANT, ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.” A quote from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

My friend: draw a face on my hand for a puppet.

The face I drew:
A hand balled up in a fist the way you do when you are making your hand a puppet! The eyes are drawn on two knuckles and there are two dots for nostrils. It is very Picasso esque.

I don’t trust this monkey.
A creepy drawing of a monkey sitting by water with a green bush behind it. The monkey’s face is eerily human in a “Rankin and Bass” hobbit kind of way and it is looking at you in a very coy manner. No thanks.

These both arrived at my work this week. I’m sure it’s all true.
A hardcover book called Michelle Remembers with the photo of the back of a man with grey hair and a black suit and half the face of a white woman with short brown hair peeking out from the left. The text on the book says: The true story of a year-long contest between innocence and Evil. MICHELLE REMEMBERS By Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, M.D. My hand holding a paperback book with a cut up, fractured photo of a white woman’s face with long brown hair. It says: FASCINATING* SPELLBINDING** ASTONISHING*** Over Six Months a National Best Seller! SYBIL by Flora Rheta Schreiber The True and Extraordinary Story of a Woman Possessed by Sixteen Separate Personalities

This cat is mean cuddling.
Don’t mess with this cat when she’s cuddling! A Russian blue cat lays on my lap. There is a peach colored blanket and the bottom of my dark grey Bowie tee shirt.

This treasure came in to my work the other day.
Berg’s hand holding the Berenstains’ Baby Book by Stanley and Janice Berenstain. The left and central parts of the cover have illustrations of three clouds, one with a bunny, one with a frog in a vest with a bucket and shovel, and one with a wooden duck toy on wheels, some blocks and a baby with a halo and clown toy. The baby changes halfway into a devil baby, with the right background as a hellscape. The devil baby has a pitchfork.

Sometimes when I’m going back through my archive, I find an image that I really love but I probably thought was garbage at the time. Almost 20 years ago…
A black and white photo of young Berg and a canon film camera on a tripod reflected in a tall mirror. The mirror is leaning against a plaid couch and there are windows with blinds behind. Sun is illuminating the blinds.

Starting off the day strong at work with this one two punch. Just need a book called “The Work of War” to complete the circuit.
Two books with white dust jackets. The first says “The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant To Do” with a photo of a paper airplane and the author name Jeff Goins. The other says “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles” with a drawing of a box with a red flower coming out the top. The author is Steven Pressfield.

My friend and coworker drew this for me 🥹 (The answer is that I don’t know but this is so very nice.)
A drawing on a sticky note of two cartoon people behind registers. The left person has wispy short hair and a beanie and the right person has long hair and bangs. The person on the right is thinking ‘I wonder if they know how cool they are?’ in a thought bubble. It is stuck to a wooden cubby that has some records and a cd by The Darkness in it.
