In each episode of Cover Art, I reimagine famous album art. It goes from there. ► Join my actual illustration classes here: https://skl.sh/2BIPaJ5 ► Support ...

If you ever wanted to look over my shoulder while I work, this is the closest you’re going to get (for free anyway). I’m starting a drawing process series called Cover Art - each episode begins with a reimagining of a famous album cover. It goes from there. I expect these videos will quickly become a true indulgence of directionless creativity and internet rabbit holes.

DRAW DIARY 7 // In the 1960s, the Witness for Nature, writer Rachel Carson, stopped writing love letters to the ocean and turned her words on the wholly unnatural tool of human arrogance; chemical pesticide. She wrote of the damage we were doing to the world, and in turn, ourselves. Not long after her words were published, the Environmental Protection Agency was formed. The people called the new department 'the extended shadow' of her writing. To understand the impact of someone’s words, watch to see what grows in their wake. // Recommended reading: Silent Spring 1962, environmental science book
