This is the piece I was talking about that I was creating for an upcoming blog post. It's my blog. This was the first time I've done this and I like creating a piece that is specifically for what topic I'm talking about. It gets me thinking and since I don't want to half-ass it I get to add another piece to my portfolio.

Black Light for Diagrams Band

Jardley Jean-Louis (EvokeJay) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:42:36 -0800

Here's the recent illo I did for Amelia's Magazine's interview on the band Diagrams. This one was inspired by the lyrics within their song "Black Light". (This isn't actually the whole of the piece, however I felt this part of the piece that I did supply fit both the lyrics of the song and embodied most of what I was going for. So expect to see the piece in full in another post in the near future.) Check out both the piece, interview and Sam Genders (Diagrams) music here: http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/music/an-interview-with-sam-genders-of-diagrams-and-album-review-of-black-light/2012/01/18/ The music is amazing and the videos that accompany songs like "Antelope" I really enjoyed. It's got great sound, pretty upbeat and found myself wanting to dance during "Black Light". His voice sounds a lot like Chris Martin, and Phil Collins. I wish I could find the lyrics to them to understand it more. While the songs I've listened to like "Antelope" and "Black Light" are like a narrative, sometimes the words will jump right into something else you weren't expecting. Happy I found Diagrams thanks to the brief. ETA: Since the song "Black Light" doesn't appear to be within the article, check out the song referred to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1DEg5c65ys

Wind Chimes For Lymes

Jardley Jean-Louis (EvokeJay) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:19:05 -0800

Here's the piece I did courtesy of Amelia's Magazine. I had been wanting to create an illustration for awhile for Amelia's Magazine when this brief popped up to create an illustration for the band Lymes. Once I heard their music, I found the opportunity. Amelia's brief really just was go with what you felt when you heard their music and I really heard the windchimes, and eerie dreamlike haze while listening to their song "Welcome". This was my introduction to the band and gotta say I really love their music. Go read their interview, see my illustration in context, and listen to both "Welcome" and their other songs here: http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/music/album-review-lymes-goodbye-bangkok-and-interview-with-richard-gilbert/2012/01/09/
