So I decided to make this fan art to send to them in hopes they might use it for their promotion. This uses the song title from the new album called Do it anyway.
I started this in pencil then went over it with a brush pen and Copic pens. After that I colored it in Photoshop by selecting and deleting the white space and coloring under the remaining line art. I also selected the line art and duplicated it in different colors and shifted the lines around to get the psychedelic effect. I then placed it into Illustrator to but in the text.
You start to realize that CDs end up getting used to prop up your lawnmower or tools in the basement. CDs don’t stick around, anyway. Mp3s don’t stick around. We’re all gonna die. Fuck it. We just decided, ‘Let’s just rock it and enjoy this and not worry about it too much.’
Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Ben Folds. [x] (via tailoredthoughts)
