I love being an artist because I get to work with other artists! Take this recent job I did for the band Tune Yards. They wanted some artwork for their tour merchandise - t shirts, stickers, water bottles etc... They came to me with some initial ideas based on the concept of their album, current tour, and overall vision as a band. So I hit the drawing board! Here is what I came up with! I made the image above in response to their album lyric "Look At Your Hands" - hands of-which seem to be an overarching theme in the new album.
This band is full of percussive genius and mouth-made beats! Merrill Garbus, the lead singer, manipulates analog, human-made sounds, run through loop peddles and vintage synthesizers, while band-mate Nate Brenner is a master of disaster on the electric bass :)
The following image is based around the letter T and the letter Y (for Tune Yards) but also indicative of their musical duo.
Tune Yards are based in Oakland but the duo is Internationally known! If you haven't checked them out, here is a link to one of their dope videos! I love Tune Yards because their sound is so different than anything in the current radio landscape - I love that these two Oaklanders are disrupting popular music worldwide. Here is one of their first and more popular videos:
Much love to my Steemit Community! Excited to be here :)
