Narcotica – The Artwerx

NARCOTICA – THE ARTWERX 

Most of the images here were originally shot by Steve Dixon in his kitchen at home in (New) York. He then had the film processed and transferred to Photo CD. Steve then passed the CD to Cyclone Systems, where he and the other members of DRUG FREE AMERICA art directed the job of digital manipulation of the photos until they arrived at the style and effect they wanted to achieve for the release of their compact disc

Narcotica – The New Pornography, available on the Dreamtime label (CDKTB21)

The following images are some of the steps along the way. Witness above The Nuclear Flash Four

An initial concept for some promotional work. Never officialy approved by DFA, but still interesting, nonetheless.
Created with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Pixar Typestry.

The original and rare (Non) Inverted Version of the montage used for the Cover Shot

THE BACK COVER

Original Shot was a red lamp shade that Steve brought back from Nepal.

When we can find the original we will display it for reference!

Brian – It was very dangerous moving that hat!

(If you are interested to see some more stuff about Brian in one of his previous incarnations as 50% of an outfit known as Vicious Pink Phenomena just click on his picture above – it sure is SPOOKY when your past, the Tax Man or your hairdresser catches you up)

Steve – A Survivor in Cyber Space?

Damn No! – this is a Nexus 7 on his way to an eye doctor!

Hayley – About to leave the Off World Disco

(Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)

Rammy – Hey! that ain’t no guitar boy! – oh what the hell!
