Inspired by the themes and lyrics of Godflesh’s album “Streetcleaner” which turns 30 years old today (Nov. 13). A complete game changer of an album that I still listen to constantly.

#fbf - This past week, @friendlyrich released another fine album, “We Are All Terrorists” and I can’t recommend it highly enough. 10 years ago this week he released his take on Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures At An Exhibition” and asked me to illustrate it. I took heavy inspiration from Jim Flora and classic Russian design on this one. . . . #illustration #illustrator #graphicdesign #picturesatanexhibition #music #cddesign #jimflora #instaart #toronto #vectorart #friendlyrich (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nTTkegGvE/?igshid=6yqe0nixw713
