When I found out the title of her journal I knew immediately what my first entry would be. It's a loud, gritty, in-yer-face kind of song that I was introduced to by my youngest.
The backgrounds are black acrylic, scrubbed on roughly and then over-sprayed with suitably dark inks. Lettering is white gel pen. It was all very rough and ready, which fits perfectly.
The inspiration is below. Warning: Not suitable for those of a nervous disposition! :)
you two are so well suited journal wise
ReplyDeleteFabulous journal entries!
ReplyDeleteit is funny isn't it I could never have shared my music with my parents,

"Heaven doesn't want me, and Hell's afraid I'll take over" is a BRILLIANT line! I can see me stealing that one for my journal :)
ReplyDeleteLove your scratchy background and the overall vibe
And as for sharing music with parents, I think I'm lucky in both directions, my parents had pretty good music taste (my dad was really into John Foxx era Ultravox and other electronic music, my mum loved Rush, I think I ended up somewhere between the two) - and I absolutely share music taste with my 3 sons - the eldest is mainly into punk and ska, the other two are metal heads. I would be sad if we didn't at least overlap a bit....
