an illustration of several musicians from the bands ninja sex party and twrp wearing tuxedos against a backdrop of neon lights shaped like various emoji used as innuendos. from left to right in the midground, there is a lion in sunglasses playing the bass, a man wearing a cone crowned with a top hat, a robot with red eyes playing the drums with one drumstick and a martini glass, and another individual with a rocketman-esque helmet shredding on a guitar with a bowtie around the neck. in the foreground are a man with long, curly brown hair wearing a blue cape and white tux singing into a microphone, and another man next to him wearing a balaclava and black tuxedo playing a toy xylophone. art by hypochroma cover for dave heatwave’s album star city; in the foreground is a man wearing a luchador mask and pink suit without a shirt, reaching up with a star shaped light in his hand. behind him is a 3/4 portrait of the man singing into a golden microphone with a backdrop of a horrifically enlarged moon and a city skyline. art by hypochroma a crop of an illustration of the jazz musician trey magnifique (@bwecht.bsky.social) in three different poses in pinks, blues and purples, based on his music video for the song "satin velvet": the figure in the foreground regards the soprano saxophone in his hand as he sits on a furry bench next to an old crt with his own face on it, while two other figures hover in the background, one playing the sax. art by hypochroma crop of a digital portrait styled to resemble a renaissance painting in oils; a woman with long hair wearing a burgundy dress cradles a shih-tzu wearing a ruffled collar with a halo crowning his head. the figures are set on a gold background resembling cracked paint. art by hypochroma

i love getting new artbooks (flesh_png and pix_bun on instagram!)
a photograph of two artbooks on a desk. the first is fourth grade by CHAN, the cover stylized to look like a composition book; the second is aeris by airi pan, with a blue partially transparent slipcover that fogs the artwork underneath. there's an iris split keyboard in the top right corner
