Happy Birthday to FRIENDS which first aired September 22nd, 1994 ❤️💛💙

Did I finally create Eddie the Head using handwritten lyrics from The Best of The Beast…?
Sure did 🎸🤘🏻 🎸
I was inspired to create this piece after getting some Dungeons & Dragons postage stamps last week - I’ve always thought that Iron Maiden songs sound like D&D brought to life!

🚀✨ Hey hey Rebel Alliance! Check out this cool artwork of the Millennium Falcon, made entirely from dialogue from the opening credits roll and dialogue of A New Hope 🌌 It’s my tribute to the timeless adventure and a galaxy far, far away🌟🚀

MUSICIAN PORTRAIT// I’ve had this song stuck in my head since posting that Lost Boys piece yesterday 😂 So here’s Jim, obviously 🔥

OTD// The Lost Boys, released on July 31st 1987 🖤

Party all day. Sleep all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.

Great Scott!! Check out my new piece - the iconic DeLorean from Back To The Future, created entirely using dialogue from the first film 🚙💥

Happy 40th birthday, Ride The Lightning ⚡️

I was going to attempt to recreate the album artwork but was crunched for time so stuck with Metallica’s ninja star logo instead ⚡️

What are your favourite tracks off this album? Mine are For Whom The Bell Tolls and Creeping Death 🤘🏻🤘🏻

MUSICIAN PORTRAIT// Sabbra Cadabraaaaa! A tribute to the Prince of Darkness, handwritten song lyrics on pen and paper 🖤 What’s your favourite Sabbath track?

25/07/2024

Celebrating the incredible AC/DC and the anniversary of the iconic Back in Black album, released on 25th July, 1980 🎸

I created this art piece to mark the occasion - the AC/DC logo crafted entirely from handwritten lyrics of my favourite AC/DC songs. How many songs can you see?

No digital tools here - just good old pen and paper, and a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll spirit 🤘🏻

BAND LOGO// Celebrating the legendary Pantera and the iconic Cowboys From Hell on it’s 34th anniversary today🔥

For this piece, I recreated the instantly recognisable Cowboys From Hell logo using lyrics from the opening track itself 🎸

Whilst my most listened to Pantera album is Vulgar Display of Power (This Love got me like 🥵), Cowboys holds a special place in my heart 🖤

Pantera didn’t just rock, they were pioneers - with this album kickstarting the PowerGroove movement which helped reshape metal and define a new generation 🔥

MUSICIAN PORTRAIT// I’m excited to share this new portrait of the legendary Stevie Nicks, created entirely from the iconic lyrics of her hit song, ‘Edge of Seventeen’ ⭐️

I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change 🖤
Happy birthday White Pony - 20.06.2000

Do not mourn me, mother. It was a fair exchange. I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon 🐉

I know the exact time I first heard Limp Bizkit. When I was a teenager, I used to buy religiously: and lawd I remember back in 1999 how excited I was to get their first compilation CD, Noise Inc. Volume 1 - the opening track being Break Stuff 😆
I wonder if 16yo me would have ever imagined that this song would still make me feral, 25 years later?

I was inspired to create this calligram being feeling major Download FOMO 😩 Whilst I absolutely love creating these word picture pieces across film/TV/books/letters/portaits/landmarks/pets and whatever else my clients request, I am most passionate about creating musical ones - I’m a huge music lover and, indeed, my business name features my favourite genre 🤘🏻

Want to get your own word art piece? Send me a DM or email me - [email protected] 🎸

Introducing my new Kurt Cobain portrait, crafted entirely by hand using his iconic song lyrics. Add a piece of rock history to your space!

19/05/2024

Shriek the lips across a ragged tongue
Convulsing together, sing violently
Move the jaw, cry aloud
Bound up the dead, triumphantly
The ragged they come and the ragged they kill
You pray so hard on bloody knees
The ragged they come and they ragged they kill
Down in the cool air I can see
Hey yeah! I’m the one that you wanted!
Hey yeah! I’m your Superbeast!
