Who else is super excited for the new BVB album and tour? 'cause I sure as fuck am!!!!!!
The new tour is called "The Church of the Wild Ones" tour and between that and the symbolism of the new cover ([link]) I just had to make a new painting featuring the boys playing in a church. I used one of my photos of Notre Dame from my trip to France earlier this year because it was the best reference I had of the interior of a church and I couldn't find any other good, free, references I could use. I also used a couple of my old paintings of CC and Ashley because I had originally planned to do one for each member and then put them all together somehow, but I figured I may as well just use them for this and then do the rest of the band!
So, one week of nearly non-stop work and 400 something layers later, we have a picture of BVB playing in "The Church of the Wild Ones"! I'm pretty happy with it, but there's a few things I'll probably go back and adjust later before I actually print it off.
Also, the stained-glass windows are based off of the new cover which was done by this guy: [link] who you should all check out!
And now I'm off to wait impatiently for tickets and pre-orders. Please tell me what you think, and I more than welcome any criticism you may have as long as it is in fact criticism and not just you being an ass. If you start being an ass you will quickly learn that I am not as nice as I may in fact seem on this site.
EDIT: eeeeeeeeeeee! Andy tweeted this as the ten day promo picture for the new album per-orders! [link]
