Artist of the week – GODMACHINE

GODMACHINEGODMACHINE ARTWORKHis real name is Aziz and he lives in Wales, UK,  with his wife and with his two cats. nothing odd this far. but he is the man behind some sensational pieces that we’ve all seen mostly on t-shirts, skateboards, posters or CD covers. He is GodMachine, a freelancer that has worked with companies like Osiris, Adidas, Lamb of God, Iron Fist, Disturbia, Bring me the Horizon, protest the hero, Rockett and lots of others. His drawings are gore, emphasize skull, brains, eyes, zombies and creepy stuff that in some galleries, people might consider a little “dark” for their tastes. but that’s the particular style for Godmachine and that’s why so lots of people love his work.
He has been drawing considering that 8 years old and because each member of his family had hard working jobs to earn their livings (his daddy was a fitter, his grandfather a minor, and his brother is an electrician), he didn’t think very seriously about earning money through his art until his wife supported him into this goal.  and he succeed, because now is one of the most popular t-shirt designers that have a great personality and, a lot of importantly, their own style (Hydro74, Angryblue, Humantree, PaleHorse, Mumford, Maxx 242, etc). because being an artist also indicates spending lots of hours alone in front of your piece of art, he considers Twitter a place to kick back by speaking his mind from time to time. He is also surprised by the feedback he receives, and he realized the real huge number of his fans only after he posted a video on Youtube and saw the number of plays.

He considers that the evolution of art technology can figure out a certain style for an artist, but it cannot give that person a lot more talent that he already has.
It’s funny how the evolution works, because before working for big companies like Iron Fist or Osiris, people tended not to like his art so much, considered it too gore and creepy, but only after his name became known through these huge brands, his art really became worshiped and desired by many.
When talking about his style, Godmachine says that this style is being copied by so lots of fresh new artists, that he is now slowly trying to set besides it, and get back to his old ways of designing. For those of you who want to see much a lot more of his works, you can visit his site or you can follow him on Twitter.
