When an Illustrator fans a DJ, cool art happens!
There’s no denying an artist’s environment influences their work. Different settings, shifts in mood and sensations influence the creative process and inspire new thinking. The sensory effects of music on visual art has long mystified artists, leading to brilliant work like Jean-Michel Basquiat’s tribute of Charlie Parker. Basquiat’s cheeky portrayal, pictured above, depicts Parker as a chicken, or yardbird, which was one of the musician’s nicknames.
We scoured the internet for other examples of artists immortalizing musicians, specifically where digital art and digital music meet. Collected here are some of the dopest examples of Illustrators paying homage to their favourite techno DJs, in their own distinct style and a unique personal perspective that shines in the work.
