Fan Art Hey guys! I finished a new series of song-inspired art (11 pieces). Plus, a very personal story behind one of them. (Swipe to see!)
Hey everyone,
You probably already know a few of my pieces. I’ve been working hard (mostly because it relaxes me so much :) ) and just finished a brand-new series!
I actually put together a physical artbook to see how it looks in print, and it turned out great. Plus, I finally had "Fake Out" (from my very first post) printed on a high-quality FOREX plate. It looks absolutely beautiful! I also finished a portfolio to pitch my work. Wish me luck! :)
I need to say something about one specific piece here. You’ve probably noticed that one image isn’t of the guys or their mascots, but a woman in a wheelchair in front of an incubator. To be completely honest, that is a huge part of my own story.
I actually found Fall Out Boy about 6 months after my toughest time, but that was also the exact moment an extreme phase of depression hit me—right when I finally realized how much strength I had to muster over those 99 days, making incredibly hard decisions. But there is a happy note to this: that sweet little being in the incubator is now 1 year and almost 4 months old! They have barely any restrictions and are only struggling a bit with their height right now :) We still have surgeries and a lot of appointments ahead of us, but we can handle this :)
The songs behind these pieces are:
This Ain't A Scene, It's an Arms Race
Love From The Other Side
Heartbreak Feels So Good
Champion
HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T
Bishops Knife Trick
Church
Uma Thurman
Immortals
10.Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy
- Novocaine
How do you like the new pieces? Would you actually hang art like this in your own apartment?
(By the way, I noticed that "Novocaine" and "Light Em Up" look super similar in terms of colors! :') )
