Birdthistle

Some concept work I created for a band in my hometown. They blend rhythmic elements of Traditional Irish music with melodic and memorable aspects of Rock. I used such maximalism with this particular portrait (other than the fact that I love a piece one can explore) to create a visual representation of Birdthistles heavily layered sound, Eg Guitars, bass, mandolin, keys, synth, harmonica. The overall goal was to use rather traditional imagery to create a contemporary piece. To check out the band just follow these links;
