Tassili 01

This is the motive I have made for a band I am doing the CD cover and all the rest of what ever they need for marketing (blog, posters, tickets and so on) for.
The bands name is Tassili (the on who walks) and they do the most exciting music I’ve heard since I was made aware of our very own muskularteeth
The sort of music they play has been called “Sahara Blues” (cool he?) in the media the last year ore so (here in Norway anyway).

For those of you having problems with such things, THEY ARE NOT MUSLIMS. but atheists (I think) from Morocco and Norway.
You see if they were in any way religious (ore as I see it not intelligent, open minded, including and learning/spiritually eveolving humans) I wouldn’t work for them….simple as that.
Christians and muslims, budists and sun worshipers is to me all the same. It has no place in a modern society built upon science, logic and reason.
I guess in that way I am a bigot.
I also never did any gigs ore briefs for ANY political unit what so ever. Never as a musician ore as a graphics artist and Illustrator.
I am also contemplating giving up contributing to the marketing efforts of various companies, cos I believe it is bad and very wrong what most of them do, and that goes for me to as long as I let them use my skills to peddle shit we didn’t know we needed til they convinced us it is so. This in turn keep us in debt and stuck in some shit job working for the man and our morgage.
Art is art, and must not prostitute itself. Neither for religion nor politics.
Cos then we are lost. Without a provoking art scene, humanity is lost….believe me if you must believe something. I believe in art, freedome and the right to provoke at any time and place….also religions witch I DON’T consider holy…(goes for all of them).

    A LITTLE DISCLAIMER….sort of, and a confession

    I see now that my little statement beside the picture is a bit on the “harsh” side, and even worse it is actually downright discriminating, and I can’t leave that standing…
    But I will not remove it either…I will leave it there to remind myself and others on how easy it is to hurt and wrongly accuse other people of being in some ways inferior to ourselves and our likes.
    To claim that someone is “not intelligent, open minded, including and learning/spiritually evolving humans” (as opposed to myself….man this is bad….I am an IDIOT), is totally of the blender and a sound proof that people like me are the true idiots and losers (man! I really hate myself now….).
    I will stop here before I say some more stupid things…Should obviously have stayed in bed today.
    I am very sorry, and I hope you religious people whom have read this can find it within yourselves to forgive a hopeless sinner.
