“I listen to lots of different music but I have always had a soft spot for melancholic rock music that you can dance to (mainly British and mostly New Order). I try to hit the same tone in the artwork that I make. The dance is the humor I put into my drawings and the melancholy is the real life that I’m trying to portrait”.
Copenhagen-based illustrator and street artist HuskMitNavn takes us on a sentimental musical ride with a vibrant selection of artworks and songs featuring artists like The Cure, The Stone Roses and more. Wishing you a good start into the summer. It’s our new Tapes’n’Tales. (via Tapes’n’Tales: HuskMitNavn)

“The first thing I used to do when getting a file from Alison was mess around with that on its own and see what I could create just from her voice which was usually this really beautiful wall of sound from her vocal.
