Obliterated Moon Station by Markham is a striking gouache watercolor on watercolor paper, created in 2022. Measuring 11" x 14", this original work is in new condition, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
This captivating artwork was created as the cover art for Moaning Dwarf's EP of the same name. It features a towering depiction of Kleetis, the iconic Moaning Dwarf character, reimagined as a giant robot powered by fuel. His fiery hair doubles as an energy source, with the top of his head serving as a ventilator. He looms over the moon, crushing a lunar station beneath his massive presence while a tiny astronaut screams in terror, underscoring the dramatic intensity of the scene.
In the background, a noir-esque cityscape adds layers of dimensionality, blending the vast expanse of outer space with the confined, shadowy geometry of urban life. This interplay between the cosmic and the terrestrial imbues the piece with a surreal narrative and a sense of otherworldly duality.
Markham’s masterful use of color, detail, and thematic complexity makes Obliterated Moon Station a standout work. Fans of Moaning Dwarf or collectors of sci-fi-inspired art will appreciate its bold imagery and connection to the band’s creative legacy.
