Home Artwork Gallery
Welcome to the Brain Damage gallery!
Within this section, you will find various contributions from talented members of the Brain Damage community, who have a particular artistic flair. As with any art, not all of what you'll find in here might be to your taste, but all of it has been crafted with a lot of effort and dedication, and above all, a respect for Pink Floyd and its constituent past and present members.
We welcome other contributions for possible inclusion here. Not all artwork can be used, for copyright and other reasons, and it might be that we need to reduce the size (physically, or by using a little careful image compression to reduce the overall file size without visually compromising the piece) of contributions should they be used.

Our thanks to the enigmatically named That Lady, who has been in touch with her contribution to our gallery of Floyd inspired artworks.
She told us: "I am still a hard-core fan and still return to Pink Floyd for inspiration! This piece was born after witnessing the full 2024 eclipse."
The following is titled, appropriately, Two Lost Souls, and for those who need a hint as to the Floyd tie-up, the song Wish You Were Here has the lyric about the lost souls swimming in a fish bowl...the eclipse itself standing in for the bowl. It's a lovely image, and we thank her for allowing us to share it with the Floyd community worldwide!

With thanks to BD regular and contributor Kevan Porter, here's the latest addition to our Floydian art gallery.
Kevan: "I created this piece as part of an art class at The Attenborough Centre in Leicester. After studying the work of Frank Auerbach, the brief was to create a large charcoal portrait of a person whose face we were familiar with.
"It's the first time I've created a piece this size, the first portrait I've drawn and the first time I've worked with charcoal. My usual work is abstracts in acrylics.
"The image size is 80 x 115cm, charcoal and gesso on collaged paper."
The artwork is indeed a sizeable piece - the dimensions can be properly appreciated in his second picture, with the other items giving the sense of scale to things.
You can connect with Kevan via his Instagram page (kevan_porter) where there are also photos from various David Gilmour and Roger Waters concerts...

Another couple of entries into our Pink Floyd art gallery - this time from an illustrator, Faith Carr-Richards, who explains her inspiration for these two pieces, along with her memories of attending a talk by Hipgnosis illustrator, George Hardie...
I originally created this as a gift for my dad. He'd not long before lent me a
couple of books on the Floyd's album art, in which I found my inspiration. At the time I was exploring screen printing as an illustration medium, which I really enjoy.
I was invited to an evening by the Brighton Illustrators' Group; it was an
exhibition of George Hardie's work, and a talk given by the man himself. It was
enlightening to hear from the man responsible for the Wish You Were Here album
art, and how his iconic isometric style stemmed from taking an O-level in technical
drawing.
He told us that when bands (such as Led Zeppelin) approached Hipgnosis
wanting album art, George hadn't the foggiest about their message, music and
vision. He said he literally used to just ask them, "what do you want me to do?"�
He also said that his inspiration stemmed from far and wide and he never sketched
ideas down, rather he just keeps a note book full of words and things he always has
gone back to throughout his career.
Another interesting thing was that Mr Hardie seemed somewhat unamused at the proposal of him signing the Floyd books I'd brought along. "Who's this for then?" He
asked. When I told him it was for my dad he replied, "yes, it usually is."

One of Brain Damage's longer term contributors is artist Duff Moses, a commercial artist in Los Angeles who can be found through 310artists.com. Over the years, he has very supplied a number of images inspired (and representing) his love of Pink Floyd and its constituent parts, as can be seen here, here and here.
Today, we bring you Duff's take on what is often thought of as the "classic" four-piece Floyd line-up of the 70's, with some Crystal Voyager footage on Mr Screen, and Roger wrangling a prism-shaped item, with suitable results. A wonderful, vibrant look at the band in those days!
We always welcome artwork from our visitors, so if you've been inspired enough by
the band and their music to create something, please let us know.
To view the artwork in greater detail, and it really does deserve viewing in more detail, just click the thumbnail to the left...

One of Brain Damage's longer term contributors is artist Duff Moses, who has supplied a few images inspired (and representing) his love of Pink Floyd and its constituent parts. He attended one of David Gilmour's acclaimed shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California, at the end of last month, and his experience that night inspired what he referred to as a quick piece! Duff noted that it was a "wonderful evening" and certainly his artwork captures some of the experience of a Gilmour concert...
