Description Hello!! I'm alive and posting stuff again This time it's a portrait of Lauri Ylonen from The Rasmus, and you should listen to this beautiful,beautiful band if you haven't already. They are one of my favorites.
Lauri is such an nice, friendly, and absolutely unique guy - you don't come across ones like him often.

When he saw this drawing (I gave it to him when we met and he now has it, swore to keep it forever haha) he put it up to his face saying "There's no difference!" I wouldn't really agree as the perfectionist I am but whatever!

Size: A3
Time: apprx 20 hours
Materials: Faber Castell Art Grip coloring pencils, Derwent Inktense pencils, Derwent Soft Coloring pencils, blending sticks, erasers.

Hope you like it! Kiitos!

My pleasure! I've always loved their music and I actually have a Rasmus tattoo as well. You are so lucky to have met them, so amazing! They never come to the US anymore.

StarlightShimmers In reply to graffitica [2012-07-16 08:38:32 +0000 UTC]

WOAH, The Rasmus tattoo sounds epic! What exactly do you have tattoed? My bestfriend is planning to get "No fear, destination darkness" on her forearm, I might think of getting sth Rasmus-realted as well

And yep, for once in a lifetime I was really very lucky :') Meeting them is like the highlight of my life haha And oh, I'm sure they will come to the US once the European tour is over,they say they love it there!

Here is the link to it. [link]

I posted it just for you! The tat your friend is getting sounds bad ass! If they get it done, I'd love to see a picture of it! You def have to get a Rasmus tattoo, it would be awesome!

I would totally die if I met them! I hope they do come to the US, they haven't been here in so many years.

woah I LOVE IT! it's just like a perfect Rasmus tattoo should be and thanks loads for posting it just because I asked Now I'm just even more sure I need to get a Rasmus tat myself, actually going to try and design it today! I'm thinking of smth connected with the Hide From The Sun album, it's my favorite... hmm If only I didn't have to wait until april (that's when I turn 18).. *sigh*

Means a lot, thanks! And it was no trouble at all to post it. I would love to see your design for one, I bet it will look amazing! I love the Hide From the Sun cover as well, but you would need to go to a really experienced tat artist to have something like that done. My birthday is in April on the 4th, when's yours?
