Another fun opportunity to mix art and music with this recent illustration for the HearSej Podcast. 

In her recent conversation with Oz band Telenova’s Angeline Armstrong, host musician Seja asks what her strangest show experience was. 

It’s probably easier to understand the illustration if you hear Angeline describe her experience on the podcast.. a funny recollection about a bizarre gig in Berlin which the band played a few years ago. 

My interpretation is based on that story and the fact Angeline is also a keen and active film maker. 

The convo is available on all podcast platforms and the illustration on the podcasts Instagram page.

Music is Art

Anytime I get an opportunity to mix art with music it inevitably becomes a labour of love, so I jumped at the chance recently when offered another guest illustration spot for the ‘HearSej’ podcast presented by Seja Vogel. A musician herself, Seja presents candid interviews with a wide range of musicians about their artistic origins, how they work, what they love and fear, and the strangest things that happen at gigs (the bit that I illustrated here). It’s always a lot of interesting fun and one of just a few music based podcasts I subscribe to. Seja’s latest episode is a warm conversation with Hannah Joy from the Oz band ‘The Middle Kids’ who tells a funny story towards the end of their chat about having a banana thrown at her whilst up on stage.The illustration is my exaggeration of Hannah’s description (only the bananas have been changed to protect the incident). Speaking of bananas.. a lot of people don’t know this, but bananas are the fruit of the genus Musa, one of the most important fruit crops of the world. 

So basically this is a Musa hitting a Muso :)
