Art and Music....just like an ordinary day!

Well well well, having finished a new art collection aaaaages ago I felt it was about time to share it with the world!


It comprises of six pieces which are directly inspired by certain songs. Some of the pieces are a very literal representation of the song lyrics, some are more the imagery the songs inspire.


The six song I did were:-


In Dreams - Roy Orbison
Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton
You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry
Invincible - Muse




In Dreams - Roy Orbison



" A candy-coloured clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
'Go to sleep, everything is alright' "

-------------------------------------



Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult


"Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared"

--------------------------------------------



Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John


"Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road"

-----------------------------------------------



Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton


"She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes"

--------------------------------------------------



You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry


"They bought a souped-up jitney,
'Twas a cherry red '53
They drove it down to Orleans 
To celebrate their anniversary"

-------------------------------------------------



Invincible - Muse


"During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible"






And that's that! Hope you like them, I enjoyed doing them. Now I've just started my fourth piece from my new collection so watch this space!


Live and enjoy!
