Description I kind of hate this now, but a while ago Convy asked if I wouldn't mind making a pic of them and I said OF COURSE NOT and proceeded to do one right away. Despite the amount of effort I put into this, I no longer care for it AT ALL.

Regardless, I still love Ludo and I want my Ludo love to expand all horizons.

[pssst, Tim Convy is the one in the white jacket with the dark hair, not the lead singer X)]

I think it's obvious that I adore Ludo in every way imaginable. There is really such a style in the way the lyrics are written, how the whole thing is presented and how the guys hold themselves that I adore and has definitely influenced my art a lot (in more ways than one). I love the way Volpe writes, his turn of phrase is sometimes so tragically comical, and every song is a story and his voice quality changes with each one (to me it does). In Air Conditioned Love he sounds so haunted and tired and older, while in Scream Scream Scream he sounds like an innocent best friend.

He always said that they believe in entertainment that's 'fun but doesn't make you stupider'. I really like that.

Ludo (c) themselves.

Andrew Volpe (guy in glasses), Tim Ferrell (guy in cap), Tim Convy (guy in white shirt), and Matt Palermo (guy with the match), respectively!!

O snap.

I love their music, and this is a great job done for them.

I especially love the Dance Magic Dance (reference to Labyrinth), and the pose.

Working on a piece for a lolng time can make you dislike it, but tbh I think this is one of your best Ludo pics yet. The composition and coloring are top notch. The eye flows easily from one band member to the next, soaking it all in. I can tell that there's a lot of love for this group in every picture of them you post, it's a really sweet thing. I have to say I am most awed by the fact that they recognize your love and show it in return. You are a lucky lady.

I like Volpe+Convy's high five there. They're all like "YEAH BROS 4 LYFE LET'S BLOW SHIT UP" and it makes me miss goin' and blowing shit up with my friends.

Coincidentally, on our first explosionexpedition, we listened to Ludo the whole way.

Ahhh, l'amore. (Totally said that wrong... I don't take French D

I remember going on their myspace a while back and seeing this picture and I was like, "...Hrrmmm.... This looks like Tessa made this..." So I then proceeded to stalk their pictures and saw that IT WAS INDEED YOU, and I was all, "aljhdljhsljdhalshjdlajshdlkjahdlkjahkjaahhh!!! AWESOME~~~".

They rule. I love how most of your other fans discovered Ludo because of you, but I discoveed you because of Ludo. IT MAKES ME FEEL SO SPECIAL And even ORE special because I found you JUST before HiNaBN started. So that makes me feel cool.

Since your last journal post about them, I found myself completly addicted to their songs. I swear, Ive been listening to their albums non-stop for the past 2 weeks.

That being said, that's so cool they are asking you to make arts for them? Im sure they are gonna like this one; you portray them so well.

GingerJuju In reply to ??? [2010-02-07 21:53:15 +0000 UTC]

At first I had a huge hard on for the song 'love me dead' cus I love sadistic lyrics. But then I found it to be over played and have since turned over to 'The Horror Of Our Love'.

Also, I'm a huge labrynth fan so the name choice was interesting to me as well as that sneaky little song reference you put in there.

All in all they look great in your style, especially the one with the goggles.

*Explosiony high five*

It's very cool when music has such an effect on someone. In my opinion, music is one of the most inspiring and motivating and beautiful things on the face of the planet. also one of the most universal, but um. Anyway! Needless to say, I enjoy seeing tributes like this and artist's comments like yours.

No to mention that I love the playful, 'fun' atmosphere of the whole thing. I've listened to a couple Ludo songs in the past, and seen a few music videos (haha) and I think that same mood is conveyed pretty spot-on, to be honest. : ) Convy is so nice to look at irl and it's very fun to see him drawn in your style. I GET MAJOR ZOMBIE/"..." VIBES, OHOHO!

I LOVE LUDO
I LOVE THIS
I LOVE YOU

I remember when I first heard them on the radio like... two or three years ago? And I was like, "sagsafdsadf so good!". No one else had heard of them, so when I found out that you're crazy about them, it was a serious fist-pump moment.
on the picture itself, god damn I love your style. it is so fucking glorious, seriously. the expressions are great, the body language is great... EVERYTHING IS GREAT I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT ELSE TO SAY AHHH.
god this comment is long and ridiculous, I'M SORRY AHHH

There's something uncanny about the way your artistic style somehow meshes perfectly with Ludo's musical stylings. I...don't even know. o.O Awesome~
