๐ Melinda and the Night Sky ๐ Say What You Mean
The โSay What You Meanโ Single Cover artwork for Melinda and the Night Sky, released officially on 9/4/2020ย โ be sure to listen!
First off, I love research. I love themes. I love a good subliminal message, and an obvious one, too. Once in awhile I get to work on a project where the client says โlisten to the song and based on whatever inspiration takes you, create artโ ๐. Now sometimes thatโs super difficult, but when it comes to music, thatโs my sweet spot.
Listening to โSay What You Meanโ I picked up on keywords plus the feeling and vibes I was getting. Hearing how the words sounded in pictures, yaโ know? I felt the need for trust, the no lies, the honesty, and though it wasnโt outright spoken โ โsay no evil, speak no evil, hear no evilโ was one of the first visual concepts that shot into my eyes. Just say what you mean! ๐
I illustrated White Chrysanthemums โ which symbolize truth, loyal love. Daffodils for new beginnings and rebirth โ strong, resilient. A snake โ you know, lies, sneaky, Say What You Mean! The Sun โ truth! And other little symbols.
