Battle for the Planet of the Apes Poster

hey everyone,
mondo just released their planet of the apes series which i was honored to be a part of.here is some close ups of my print.the whole idea of the drawing is based on Dürer's classic Cain slaying Abel woodcut.In BFTPOTA we witness for the first time that an ape broke the most important taboo "ape shall not kill ape".
the moment this happens the apes realize they have fallen from grace and their moral superiority is lost.they have fallen to the level of mankind because they have spilled blood of another ape,one of their brothers so to speak.i wanted my print to look like an old illustration from an ape "bible".the ornament consists of depictions of the lawmaker and the lawgiver,the two foundations of the ape religion if you can call it that.
anyway,here's the close ups:

Florian Bertmer x Moon Editions x Christmas

hello everyone,
i hope you guys are ready for some traditional christmas spirit!with that i mean the traditional german/austrian christmas spirit in the form of everyone's beloved christmas "demon" - the Krampus!
if you don't know who this gentleman is,well,you are in for a treat!
Krampus is basically the christmas bad guy,he is the one punishing the bratty/annoying kids...
since he is not that very well known i thought it was about time to give him some long overdue exposure and my good friends over at moon editions were up to the task to help me bring him back to life;)
check out my christmas krampus toy over at moon editions!

Anyway,a merry christmas to you all and your families!

cheers,

Florian

All Pigs Must Die - God is War artwork

hey everyone,

here`s the artwork for All Pigs Must Die`s upcoming Lp on Southern Lord which is called "god is war".personally i think it is even better than their debut Ep so i am totally stoked for this.the record itself is heavily inspired by the book "blood meridian" by Cormac McCarthy and the title itself is taken from a monologue by a character called the judge:

"Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives.
Who has not heard such a tale?
A turn of the card.
The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man's hand or that man at his.
What more certain validation of a man's worth could there be?
This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate.
The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one.
In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear.
This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence.
This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification.
Seen so, war is the truest form of divination.
It is the testing of one's will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select.
War is the ultimate game because war is at least a forcing of the unity of existence.
War is god."
