Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 12 2004, 09:17 I don't remember how I came up with that drawing. Well, actually, the idea sprouted from a thread in here that mentioned how short Mike Oldfield was. I started sketching ol' Mike on pencil (with a Simpsonified look, no less), and the rest of the picture came out... well, I'm a weird person, I do weird things. Don't think there's a real meaning to the pic, though: I just liked drawing the Resident guy (it took me ages to get his position right), and the Roger Daltrey thing came up because Daltrey is also very short. I dunno, it's just a mixed bag of stuff. The drawing looks surprisingly good to my drawing standards, and I think the result is kinda amusing. Weird. Wacky. Sir Mustapha. (Oh, and it's supposed to be an ellipsis in his speech baloon. One guy at AudioGalaxy asked "what are those three dots", so I think I should clear it up.)

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 12 2004, 19:28 The drawing is very funny, and congrats for your great sense of humour. But I don't get what 'Resident' refers to. Maybe to that videogame, Resident Evil? I'm not a gaming guy, you know [in spite of my own name being used on the Internet as an acronym for the United Gaming Organization... www.ugo.com ... ], and the only games I have here on my PC, apart from Microsoft Pinball Arcade, are DOS reproductions of old arcade games from the 70s and the early 80s - things like Pacman and Breakout. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: May 13 2004, 05:21 Here's the story behind the name: In the early 70s the yet unnamed band sent a demo to Hal Haverstadt of Warner (!), who promptly returned them, the address marked "for the attention of the residents". Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 13 2004, 07:15 Yep, that's pretty much it. In concerts and some album covers, they appear disguised in tuxedoes, top hats and big eyeball masks. It's a funny costume, I like it. Thanks for the compliements, by the way! -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.
