I recently did a project for local band Weird Year (for their latest album Nick Hates The Beach). It ended up something like a tour journal following a band on a strange roadtrip along the California coast, dodging the surreal and the fantastic all the way to a gig.
This was such a fun project for me. I love doing art for music and making up a little narrative of an indie band roadtrip was just... so damn fun.
If you care to listen to the album its on Sp0tif¥ and AppIe Music. Or have a look at their music videos on youtube. ✌️
I missed drawing Pokémon as main subjects, so this is for the Pokémon TCG illustration contest 2024 which I couldn’t join because I’m from Italy, so I did it just for fun.
Theme was magical moments: draw an illustration that captures the Pokémon enjoying a moment in its day. I chose Charizard 🏜️🐉
Rediscovering the Dark Splendor of Gustave Doré with Edgar Allan Poe
//Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" illustrated by Gustave Doré
The Raven. The poem tells the story of a nameless narrator as he laments the loss of his lover, Lenore. As the poem’s narrative unfolds, the narrator’s mental health gradually deteriorates as he is repeatedly visited by a talking raven. The magical bird never fails to remind his conversation partner: the relationship between he and Lenore is “Nevermore.”
