Saw a design in an hgtv magazine and got inspired to make this. Two 45 adapter’s for that music lover in you, your partner, or best friend. Look out for post cards of this image coming soon.

Here’s a little more info:
This one is for the music lovers. It doesn’t matter which genre, as long as music is something you can’t get through the day without. Could be for musicians or the fans. The image represents two 45 adapters. These adapters are used to secure and play 45 rpm records. I chose these colors because they are complementary and I love the color the overlay of them creates. check out some of my other “Music Inspired” drawings and paintings.


Download 1- Coloring Sheet (music)

 

What up folks? Ok, so people have been asking me for downloadable coloring sheets for a minute and i just have not had the time. But, last night I decided to make one using art and type that I’ve already created. I added a few things but most of it is older work. Anywho, if you’d like to get this and download a high res version of it for your own drawing purposes or for a student, you can do that……..

This is my first of many I hope, not only of stuff you can draw on, but of art you can license for other purposes I hope. We’ll see. For now enjoy. And if you like music related art peep this collage of characters from 3 years ago.

Flashback: Boombox

This is a really old piece I made of a boombox using watercolor when I was just learning it over 20 years ago. As I have been working on some recent music inspired pieces I wanted to share something I made in that same vein many years ago.

Here are some recent/old music inspired art you might of missed:

1200 – Music Inspired

The first time I bought a Technics 1200 turntable it was with money I’d earned working and from birthdays, etc. I had saved up enough and got help from my parents to get a used one from my local pawn shop and I was so excited I just started at it. It would take me a good while to save up for the second one and a mixer but eventually I got them. And I gave up drawing and painting for awhile in lieu of teaching myself mixing, scratching, beat juggling, and how to find records and sounds. I had to sell my turntables as a young dad in my late 20s but I’ve never forgotten the feel of these. They were sturdy, heavy, and solid machines that could take hours and hours of practice and keep on going. Did you ever own a Technics 1200 table? Still have some? This is another music inspired joint!

Purple Trumpet: Music Inspired

Music is the weapon I kept thinking of as I finished this. I almost wrote a word across the trumpet but I’m glad I didn’t. Anyways, the trumpet is a dope instrument in so many different genres; afro beat, salsa, jazz, ska, etc. What is a song you like that has trumpets in it?

Purple Headphones: Music Inspired

Hey, continuing with this series of music. When I think of the inspiration for this I think of those that remember riding or walking around with some headphones and a walkman, CD, or MP3 player just playing some dope music. The feeling of curating your ride to school or work, or just really getting all your songs ready for a road trip. It’s that feeling of being still and playing music that makes you come alive. That kind of love.
