Rotgod's Art: Jesus Christ pornostar

The making of the "Jesus Christ pornostar" cover art is as boring and straightforward as it gets.

I come up with the idea, message Gore Occulto, explain him the idea, he remains shocked and warns me we're going to hell for this stuff, then of course accepts. There you have it: within an afternoon, the artwork is ready, just like I had imagined it in my own sketch, if not even exceeding expectations. I certainly wasn't expecting the vandalic element to be so well-meshed with the rest of the image - to the point that some people at first didn't even notice the difference with the real shroud. To be honest, I didn't either - so I had to travel to Turin to check firsthand. Horrible idea: it's always raining, the food sucks and if you take the wrong route you find yourself in one of those filthy neighborhoods worse than Satania's umbrellas street. Plus, I came back home with covid.

There seems to be something deeply personal and autobiographic in this artwork, starting already from the original sketch. Better not say what that is.
