Hi! I've been wanting a tattoo of the cover art from the single Clocks, the thing is... I don't really know what it means! I'll have it regardless of it, I'd just like to know what it really means/is. Help a fellow Coldplayer!

The single art for Clocks is an abstract sketch of Chris, from the view being DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH him. It's kind of trippy. Here:

 

 

Look on the middle kind of round part to the left. You can see a pointy nose, and eyes on either side. Do you see it?

 

His face is dark grey, on the left middle. The part sticking out the most is his nose, and you can make out eyes on either side of that. It takes a bit of staring to see it, but you'll see!

 

There was a pic somewhere on these forums with arrows. I'll see if I can find it, and credit the person who did it of course :)

Found this on another thread:

 

 

Here's the original post (I don't want to take Paulinha coldplay 's credit) :D

:awesome:

Yep, Ba8cc is right--it's just a rather abstract view of Chris if you were standing right beneath his chin looking up

wow never noticed that before props

I've always seen Chris' arm in the cover, too. The highest point of the drawing to the right side of Chris' face looks remarkably similar to an arm.

I figured out what the Clocks cover was with remarkable ease compared to how long I spent scratching my head at the AROBTTH album cover. Seriously, even my mum thought it was an upside-down bunny rabbit.

Then again Reece, I remember you once telling me that the Clocks cover was an explosion.

ohh that's what it is... :shocked2:

Oh dude. I never realized what it actually was!! THAT'S SO COOL!!! :DDD I love it regardless. That's why it's my pic.

Thank you so much!!! I now love it even more!!! I'm getting it on July 16th. I'll post pics when I get it!!

 

PS- Who is the artist behind this artwork?

Hello people!!

 

I introduce to you, my beautiful tattoo:

 

 

 

As you can see very little, tiny few spots of ink are missing. It's almost unnoticeable, maybe some of you won't even see which ones I'm talking about. Anyway, I asked the girl not to put those ones so it'd look a bit more clean.

^That looks awesome! Best Coldplay tattoo I've seen in a long time! (Maybe ever!)

people who don't know coldplay are going to be like ::inquisitive:

 

but: Awesome tattoo!

^^^:shocked2: That's just beautiful! Great choice. Like strikie said, not many people will recognize it I think, but that's a very good thing.

 

 

:thumbsup:

Oh god you have no idea how hyp my tattoo is. People have said that it's a butterfly, a fairy, a bat, a heart, a penis, boobs, random ink, etc etc etc. When I ll them it's a Coldplay tattoo their faces go

"whaaa?" I LOVE IT!!!
