Blackbird Fly: A Personal Project
A lettering and illustration project celebrating Beatles Day – June 25. The illustration is also available as a free digital wallpaper download.
I knew I wanted to create something funky, like a 60s style lettering and loved the idea of creating the trippy swirls and rounded edges on the letters that are also evidence of the art nouveau period. I also chose a more obvious illustration in the bird but knew I didn’t want to make him actually black, instead I wanted to keep the illustration more colorful. I also wanted to add something with meaning for freedom and because I love creating works with flowers, decided on lilies since they are a symbol for freedom.
In celebration of Beatles day, I created digital backgrounds as a free download. Enjoy!
