Album Art > Greycoats

Minneapolis band, Greycoats, have created a very special project to celebrate their newest release.  They've asked 12 artists to interpret each of the 12 songs on the album, World of Tomorrow.  

This is my contribution for their song, "Hideaway":

The Light of Day, My Hideaway, 12x16", acrylic/graphite on panel, 2013

Other Participating artists: GARY WOLFE, ANDY DUCETT, ANDY STURDEVANT, MILES MENDENHALL, ADAM TURMAN, WILLIE WILLETTE, JESSICA ASHLEY NELSON, BRADEN LEE, NATHAN SCHROEDER, BETHANY BIRNIE and CAITLIN KAROLCZAK

The artworks will be on display at the their CD release show 
Sat, Jan 26th at the Ritz Theater in Minneapolis and then it will be a little "traveling" exhibition.

Thank you, Greycoats, for the opportunity to participate in this project. 
I had a blast listening to "my song" and I hope the resulting painting is a worthy tribute.
