I thought I’d post a little music cover artwork that has some hand drawn action…which personally just adds a little extra something for my eyes while my ears are already having a good time.

Since graduating art school three years ago, I’ve been following the artwork of children’s book illustrator Kelly Murphy. I really would like to illustrate children’s books but I have problems drawing people. Her work has taught me to let go of the confining concepts of how human anatomy “should” look. Murphy’s work has inspired me to let the natural way I create people and the emotion/mood involved come through my artwork.

So, thanks for that Kelly [and to the internet for making it all possible]!

What artist(s) have you been following that has influenced your artwork?

My last Music Monday post introduced everyone to Chip Kidd, a graphic designer who makes music. I thought, what other designers out there are trying out those vocal cords? Matt Hunsberger of coarse! Check out his band Pop Heroes where he plays keyboard, sings, and designs the band posters and packaging!

Listen here.
