And here’s another
This is becoming a bit of a dirty habit these days, but the call for Amelia’s Magazine illustrations (and the coverage that follows) is just too much for me to turn down. Meet King Creosote and Jon Hopkins; the article I assisted illustrating is an interview of them on their new (and rather whimsical) collaborative album, Diamond Mine.
For this illustration, I looked through some images of the two artists, as well as the cover for their new album. All I did was amalgamate the two; mixing drawn portraits of them with the illustrated backdrop of their album cover. The actual cover is primarily taken up with an old sepia photograph of two salty sea dogs (or ‘sailors/fishermen’ for those not well versed in nautical jargon) resting on a cliffside bench. It turned out well for a short go! Although my drawing of Jon Hopkins looks more like a young George Clooney than I intended, but that’s not such a terrible thing in the long run.
[...] Since I drew this, I’ve done a more recent drawing – in a vaguely similar style – for Amelia which you can see here. [...]
