Drawing of the sisters family

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I don't quite see Von being a "great big dirty pint" man though. Unless it's a pint of vodka and cranberry, of course. :lol:

Yes, I love it very much. I like the way they are composed and the sin city feeling.

Does the person who made it like The Sisters, does s/he know what they are about, is s/he into it at all, or a little bit, or not at all and just made a Christmas gift? :)

Hehe, She who made the drawing is very much into sisters. In fact, she did draw them in the exact way they were dressed on the consert in stockholm we saw last year.

:eek: :lol: I thought it does! Some facts are probably not exactly correct (for example Andrew should be more pretty :P and perhaps would be drinking something different, and Ben wouldn't be fiddling with cigarettes I suppose) but hey it's art so it doesn't have to stick to the facts.
Well my first impression was that it does look a lot like our boys (well, two "boys" and one "precious fossil" :kiss: to be precise) because the gestures and expressions (which in the real life reveal the personality) of each of them in my opinion got captured perfectly.

I agree ... and also the stroke of every little thing in this picture is great fun ... :lol: ... :notworthy: ...

And as to the prettiness of :von: ... he's got so many faces, but fortunately,
the painter didn't take that South American video interview as a model ... 8)

I think it looks great, it captures Andy brilliantly in my humble opinion (Except the pint pot)
I don't doubt and I don't take direction....

I love the pint pot, because when I look at it, I can see a little owl or thing leaning in it, very sweet ... ;D ...

It is a hand grenade, but it's not Ben's - he's just looking after it.

Chris looks far too relaxed - he's obviously not working hard enough.
