It's...The Sonics!

For October I'm going Halloween themed! The first hit the Sonics ever had was a song called "The Witch". Really really great early 60's band, and arguably the first punk band (but that history is more my boyfriend's expertise).

So presented to you in two options: more yearbook graffiti and less yearbook graffiti. Also, sorry if your name is Eunice Miller or Francis Lemming.

Francoise Hardy

The specificness (actual word?) of this statement makes me feel pretentious. I like 60's French pop singers. Francoise Hardy is one. She is also a fashion icon there? Or at least one of her time? I don't know. I just like the music of hers that I've downloaded. Also smoking is bad. But this was just so of the time period okay? But don't smoke today. That's not of the time period.

Rock n Roll High School!

I wish I had gone to Rock n Roll High School, then some spunky Ramones obsessed classmate would do me the solid of skipping school for three days to wait in line to buy tickets to see The Ramones for everyone in school. I'm too old for high school now, haha. Anyways, this movie's a fun one--it even has the real Ramones! Also, a guy I used to be friends with said nothing good ever came out of the 70's. He clearly forgot about when the Ramones were founded and this little gold nugget. Also, yeah, it's a day late.

Adele and news

I went super simple for Adele than my last Penny Dreadful illustration didn't I? I swear it's mostly because I think Adele (who's known for her most stellar voice) is just...her, you know? Simple, soulful music. The highlight of her work is her voice, so a fan poster of her should reflect that right? That simple elegance--not that I think I captured that, haha.

Anyways, I was in a car accident on 4th of July weekend, and as a result (besides a helluva lot of back pains and a wrecked car) have shifted my art schedule back a week. I'm sighing a thousand sighs because of all the paperwork associated with my pain and totaled car.

Guitar Wolf!

Yeah! It's Guitar Wolf! Crazy cool rock band from Japan! Jet Generation, go go!

A couple of rascals from the Sex Pistols

Sid and Johnny. Yup yup. Don't know where the other half of the guys went. Bonus bunny, though!

 

SOTG2, Templo de Debod

Templo de Debod, Madrid, Spain. Apparently it's an actual Egyptian temple that was given to Spain as thanks for either saving it or discovering it or something nice that Egypt appreciated.

Bonus: a thing I drew because I was on a Sleigh Bells kick. Check them out, they're wild.

Karen O

The singer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

Ella Fitzgerald

If you like classic female singers, Ella Fitzgerald is a must.

Jamie Cullum

He is cute. And I like his music a lot. Also, last I heard he was with the granddaughter of Roald Dahl (she's gorgeous btw).

Harry Connick Jr

He's so handsome I wanna die. For real.

Etta James

She's lovely. Check her out if you love girl singers. This was the beginning of my "draw musicians/singers I love" phase for practice sketches. Notice the past tense? Still old material.

Can you tell I had a little crush on Harry Connick Jr?

He's just so pretty. And I like his music.

Debbie Harry is my Queen

Hail to the Queen!

Lullaby by Marina

A beautiful moment where an infant is serenaded by his aunt...sort of. 

By the way, if you can't read cursive writing you're much too young.

Music Theme: Dog Days Are Over (Florence and the Machine)

This is partly why I love this song.

Music Theme: Hello, I Love You (Doors)

This is also true.

Music Theme: Milkshake (Kelis)

True shit.
