Term Project 8: People Doing Things
In this week’s illo, our topic was ‘’People doing things’’. I chose Halloween as my theme and what perfectly represents that no other than ‘The Weeknd’’. This is a concept alternative album cover combining his earlier trilogy series (House of Balloons, Echoes of Silence and Thursday) and his recent well praised album ‘’After Hours’’. My stylistic choices were a combination of rough strokes for the subject and smooth blending in the foreground and background.
It’s Storytime….Another spooky seasin goes by & Abel is Alone Again and realizes it’s Too Late. A man who is the Hardest to Love is also Scared to Live Again. Growing up as a Snowchild, Cali was the mission but he now regrets it and wants to Escape LA, because all LA girls look the same to him. A girl he fancied in the club pulled up to the studio but she used him to her advantage. He now feels betrayed and Heartless and lost his Faith; losing his religion every day. He somehow ends up in the back of a flashing car in Sin City where lights have blinded him again. He reminisces the times he saw the tears in her eyes and whispers Repeat After Me and Save your Tears for another day. Because now we are in the After Hours and I have until Dawn till I bleed out.
