I’ve got this new obsession

well, maybe I shouldn’t call it an “obsession”, but I’m really in to the idea of creating “visual music”. What’s visual music? It’s my way of visually interpreting music that inspires me or I connect with.

I love it when an artist creates a song that feels like a soundtrack to a chapter of my life – a song that I can identify with from beginning to end.

I read design and photography blogs daily, and sometimes I run across images or designs that I connect with, but don’t really have the need to use them at that moment. Typically what happens is I save these photos and designs in a stock folder of mine to pull from when I find the need.

Although, none of these artist or groups asked me to design for them it still feels good to finish their story with a visual element.  Since I don’t have time to spend the necessary hours creating the artwork; I decided to give myself 30 mins. to design and post my work to my blog. Maybe, one day I’ll post my favorite work to my portfolio.

Peace and enjoy

Briefly
In this song the artist (J Dilla) talks about a relationship, how far the two have come and far they have to go to get to better place together. The road is tough, there will be ups and downs; but together they’ll help each other make it to a better place.
