I’ve been having a rough time in my personal life recently, which has subsequently had a big impact on my work life. However towards the end of last month I saw Jordan Rakei preform at Bristol Beacon, and not only was it massively enjoyable and beneficial for my mental health, it also ignited a significant amount of creativity and motivation which I’ve really been lacking, and encouraged me to capture the experience in an illustration.
I’ve always been a huge fan of live music, and it’s often been the subject of my artwork. I bought a ticket to this concert a few months before, blissfully unaware of how my life would be so dramatically different at the time of attendance, and how much I would need it, but it ended up being a beautiful reminder that music will always be something I can go back to, no matter how bleak life feels.
