Drawn to Noise is a daily art challenge where music and art collide. I illustrate an album one song at a time, turning sound into sketch—one track per day.
Turning my Draw Down the Moon illustrations into one epic poster! Merging each song drawing into a cohesive scene is a challenge, but I’m figuring it out—linework is set, now it’s all about the coloring. I did this before with Daisy by Brand New and plan to offer a limited run of prints soon. Follow my progress on Instagram @drawn_to_noise!
Day 22 – Speak to the Dead from Draw Down the Moon by Foxing. This final illustration captures the transition between life and death, inspired by the lyric "Our essence dissipates all the same." A haunting, surreal piece reflecting themes of the afterlife, communication with the dead, and the fading boundary between worlds. Part of a full series interpreting the album visually.
Inspired by the song If I Believed in Love by Foxing, this animated illustration brings the lyrics to life—literally. A man buries his head in the sand, his neck stretching in surreal fashion, blending mid-century modern aesthetics with 90s cartoon humor. Part of my daily illustration challenge, this piece explores love, solitude, and escapism.
Day 20 of my daily illustration project is inspired by Cold Blooded by Foxing. This mid-century style piece reflects the lyric "I know I’m a black sheep," capturing the song’s themes of isolation and self-reflection. Follow my journey as I illustrate a song every day!
For Day 19, I illustrated “At Least We Found the Floor” with the lyric, “The bad luck demon that I can’t stop kissing... Well honey, at least you found the floor.” This song captures that sinking feeling when you think you've hit rock bottom, only to find there's further to fall. Even though this piece didn’t turn out as I imagined, it’s still part of the journey. Let me know your thoughts!
For Day 18, I illustrated “Bialystok” with the lyric, “I was just thinking about watching television next to you...” This song captures the quiet comfort of simply existing with someone, even in the most ordinary moments. I wanted to reflect that feeling of homesickness, even when you're right next to someone—how absence can make even familiar places feel unfamiliar. Let me know your thoughts!
For Day 17, I focused on “Where the Lightning Strikes Twice” with the lyric, “So meet me in the tall grass... I want to go where the lightning strikes twice...” This song was a challenge, but I focused on the shock and fear in the lyrics, using minimal detail. I embraced bold, grainy textures and stark contrast to capture the feeling of standing in a storm. Let me know what you think!
For Day 16, I focused on the lyric, “Want to draw down the moon / For nothing but to deserve you...” from Draw Down the Moon. This piece was a fun challenge as I further embraced the mid-century modern graphic design style. I wanted to illustrate devotion with a surreal image of a figure pulling the moon down, showing love through an impossible act. Let me know your thoughts!
For Day 15 of my Draw Down the Moon series, today’s piece is inspired by the lyric from “Beacons”: “I was floating there for so long, King of nothing, but the space I take up...” I wanted to capture the feeling of being weightless, yet overwhelmed by everything. This is my take on the song’s emotional depth, using a mid-century modern design. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
A mid-century modern-inspired illustration series interpreting Draw Down the Moon by Foxing. Each piece captures a song’s essence with bold minimalism, vintage textures, and layered symbolism—like a beached 737, a figure pulling the moon closer, and a man crashing through floors. Designed using Retro Supply Co. brushes and paper textures for a nostalgic, screen-printed feel.
