TOUCHED BY SINNERS

Most of the time we assume that bands chosen cover art are original pieces, except maybe when we face an old classic painting, an illustration by Gustave Doré or a photo from World War II. It's also easy to assumed that most stuff from the 80s is original, but of course that's not the case.

There have been cases where scenes from movies have been used as inspiration to artworks, such as Cancer's "To the Gory End" '90 (Which we include to this post, assuming most people know this) who was inspired by the supercool machete cut in "Dawn of the Dead" from 1978.



Also posters or cover artworks from movies have been borrowed, twisted or ripped in order to sell records with a cool front. But what we rarely think of, being not as huge as the music or film industry, is the comic department. Have bands ever borrowed, twisted or ripped anything from comic books? Yes they have! And when you look at Sinner's fourth record "Touch by Sin" from 1985, do you think "Hey, that could easily have been a front cover of a comic mag!"? No, you don't. At least I never did, because it's sleazy perfect for the record (Not calling Sinner Sleaze here thou), but you should, because it is.



I have very little detail about the true origin of this artwork and where it originally comes from. In this picture you see a Swedish magazine which published adult cartoons mostly from French magazines. I tracked down the artist name, which apparently is Gi Versalt? But that's where the hunt ends.. Apparently he hasn't done enough for internet to care. But look close and you'll see that Sinners cover ain't just a total loan, as the art department actually has added some sweet lingerie to the butts legs, and used someone who apparently has no clue how stay-ups work.

To be continued, Mat Sinner wasn't the only youngster to pleasure himself while dreaming of perfectly shaped cartoon women.

For all non-swedish homo-sapiens out there, the blue text states: "Gargle"! Wheelchair Drama

Genius.
