Singin in the Rain

What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again!

Clockwork Orange again! Its one of those films that sticks with you forever, or at least it does with me. One of the most disturbing bits (out of a pretty wide choice of disturbing bits) is when Alex and his droogs raid the Home farm. The cheerful tune of Singin' in the Rain really helps to underline the horrible treatment being inflicted on the innocent couple.

So obviously I wanted to represent that disturbingness somehow. When I saw a poster for the stage musical of Singin' in the Rain, it was obvious that Alex needed to be inserted. Its great when you find an excuse to draw something pretty much just for the fun of it!

As usual you can find this design on T-shirts, Stickers, iPhone cases and more at Redbubble and Society6. And all the details can be found on the Doodle Dojo Store.

Disc Bootik Chart

Disc Bootik Chart from A Clockwork Orange

"Who you getten bratty, Goggly Gogol? Johnny Zhivago? The Heaven Seventeen?"

"What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful portable picnic players. Come with Uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited!"

I might have mentioned in passing that A Clockwork Orange is one of my favourite films. Well the Disk Bootik scene is one of my favourite bits of the film. I've always wondered what the bands and songs are on the chart, so with the help of a pause button and slow motion I figured it out. Sadly (for me) it just makes it even more interesting. What sort of band are Bread Bros? Is Jelly Rock a dance? Is any of it any good?

The Disc Bootik chart is now available on the Doodle Dojo Store as prints, t-shirts and iPhone cases.

Ludovico Institute for Behaviour Modification

The Ludovico Institute for Behaviour Modification

A Clockwork Orange is an all time classic film. It somehow manages to make the utterly horrible Alex into a character you care about and feel sorry for, even though everything that happens is bought on by his own actions and behaviour. The main reason for that is when his humanity is stripped away through the use of the Ludovico Technique. So I thought I would make a logo for the Institute where it all happens. The only other institute I could think of was the Torchwood Institute from Doctor Who so I thought I should mash the two together and see what happened. Turned out real horrorshow.

This is now available on T-shirts and other stuff from Redbubble at the Doodle Dojo Store.
