This week I went to my first gig in well over a year. It felt so so so good to be out again in the real world hearing artists put their all into their work and being surrounded by people who are all there for the same reason, to listen to music and have fun.
Live music has always been a big part of my life, so it makes perfect sense to have felt so lost without it in the last year. Although my illustration work isn’t always centred around music it’s definitely a theme I enjoy exploring and a good night out can really rejuvenate and inspire me even if what I’m working on isn’t at all related. After my gig on Wednesday I felt SO inspired, just by being in the physical environment where the magic happens! So I decided to draw it. It’s not to the same super detailed complexity of my usual work, but it was nice just to draw something because I wanted to. I really enjoyed being quite loose and playful with it, especially thanks to the coloured lighting. I also captured a fun time-lapse screen recording condensing 4 hours into 1 minute, watch it on my instagram, linked here!
