"Romper Stomper" Reproduction
Pencil on Paper.
I copied this image from a magazine. Possibly an advertisement for "Romper Stomper" based on the "skinheads" tattoo on his wrist. However, based on what I recall the movie was released well before this so unless it was an old magazine it could have easily been an image attached to an article on racism & gang violence in the UK. Ya know. The thing I recal most about that movie was how dangerous culture was & the senselessly barbaric nature of racism, & I think the "good guy" & the gang leaders girlfrind realising how horribly wrong the situation was & not wanting a part of it as they fell in love & possibly ended up having to kill the gang leader or something. I don't know I was very young when I watched it & lots of ways I can relate to being persecuted for rejecting the racist culture I was born into & other personal experiences being caugt up in intergenerational interracial conflict throuhgout the earlier stages of my life.
It is hard to place a date on either drawing as from what I recal there was some time between & I expect I did the seccond using a lightbox. However, they were both drawn either late 1990's or early 2000's
