A little bit of the things I listen to while working or walking my dog or just hanging out with my friends. Some songs or artists even birthed ideas of illustrations and series of artworks. One of my ideal projects would be to design album covers for my favorite artists, and this basically stood at the root of my "FANBOY" series, a sort of visual playlist and homage to a genre of music. I even created a playlist for my exhibition, and some people loved it, so I thought why not try to take it just a tiny step further and share with even more people.
