Singin' the Blues

Inspired by my love for all things baggy trousers, big ties and sweat inducing stage lights.

This illustration series stands as a love letter to the smoky roomed gigs of yesteryear. Think young David Bowie or Bryan Ferry in their prime. For this series I wanted to draw from my love for this era in music. The style, the fashion, the stripped back stage sets. All of it. I wanted the drawings themselves to be quite minimal in details and focus on the characters. I was eager to use the stipple shading style to really bring forward the mood of these pieces.
