Fireworks Therapy

This painting was made for my friend Corey's music project, A Happy Gatsby. He's releasing a new album called Fireworks Therapy in the near future. Definitely check out his bandcamp site for his last album and for updates for his new album.

His music is really beautiful and calming and somewhat nostalgic in a sense. I drew some artwork for the album, which is below, and I played a little flute and sang a few vocals on the recording.  When you get a chance go download his music; his sounds are perfect for quiet, rainy, and contemplative evenings.

Greetings!

I deleted my old illustration blog. This is the new one. Let's hope this one doesn't give me millions of spam comments.
Anywho, my most recent "finished" drawing is some album artwork for my friend Travis. The band name is Idwa, and you can hear some samples here: http://soundcloud.com/idwamusic. Once the album is released I will make a post with full details.

Aaaand, purely for fun I decided to modify a thrift store copy of Winslow Homer's "The Country School" after watching a few episodes of Bob Ross's Joy of Painting. I added my own happy little clouds.
