This illustration honours Goodbye June, an amazing rock band from Nashville, Tennessee.
Cousins Landon Milbourn, Brandon Qualkenbush and Tyler Baker formed the band
after the death of Tyler Baker's brother.
This tragic event in June led to the name of the band today.
This print deals with this difficult memory with the illustration of an angel.
Having death in the reflection symbolises that life can change in a flash, evoking the car accident.
The inspiration is also from the album's name See Where The Night Goes.
We can see a journey in the sky is portrayed with a sailor fishing stars, living an adventure helped by the angel.
There is a subtle mention of grief in the reflection of the man in the boat. It is of two brothers, one with the arm over the other, instead of what should be the sailor by himself. This is to show the love that remains.
The crescent moon instead of the sail represents rebirths and new beginnings
It was important to include nature in the print, because inspiration comes from being in nature, and is responsible for us being alive, also a link to Nashville’s beautiful nearby lakes.
