Johnny Cash - Hurt (cover)

I love Johnny Cash's version of this song so much. This picture is too dark for the song. Actually I don't think it fits at all. Except for the color. Otherwise, it's an old man and a crow.... because I like drawing old people and birds.

Shiny Toy Guns - You Are The One

You're more than in my head...

Forgot how much I loved these guys.

Fleet Foxes - White Water Hymnal

Yes, it's a horrible picture of a fox because the bands name has fox in it. I'm not really........awake right now..... so.... sorry goodnight.

Muse - Uprising

An original character looking much more evil than he is.

Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able

I'm sure the music video for this song influenced me. I tried to get it out of my head, but I couldn't, it fits the song so perfectly. I'm also trying to get away from just.... pretty faces. So here's a not so pretty... face?

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

I need to start drawing things other than faces. But I love faces. I also love this song.

Jónsi - Tornado

You grow from the inside

Gah. This song makes me want to weep. It's beautiful.

Regina Spektor - Hero

I'm the hero of this story, I don't need to be saved

Just because I love Regina Spektor.

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

The bitterness of one who's left alone...

Lately I've been revisiting some music from the 90s.... Which is interesting since I have an emotional response to the music whether I like it or not, since it's nostalgic for me. I remember listening to this song on my little walkman radio thing when I was like 12. Not that this picture really reflects any of that. It's late and it was hastily drawn.

The Decemberists - Won't Want for Love

Gentle leaves, gentle leaves, please array a path for me...

It's late. It was hard to pick a song. I love The Decemberists. I'm half a sleep. I can't draw and listen to The Decemberists without their lyrics influencing a story behind my art. Her face looks a little like a face in a nightmare I had. I need sleep now.

Kansas - Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes...

At the suggestion of a friend. Love this song. I find the sound very... soothing.

Cloud Cult - Hurricane and Fire Survival Guide

I will laugh my way through...

It's interesting. When I'm doing sketches and really thinking about the song... I find myself thinking what "color" a song is. I never really thought about it so much before, but songs definitely have colors.

Day 1: Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche

Let's start with one of my favorite songs...
