Ariel Posen

Posted on September 8, 2023 by BandOfOne

Ariel Posen’s third album is out today. The video below made me a fan. It’s basically a live studio recording of his first album and is a great introduction to him if you’re unfamiliar. More info here.

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Posted on August 11, 2023 by BandOfOne

I’ve been making an effort to find new music in the last 10 years or so and discovered Tedeschi Trucks Band at the end of a long diversion through some (new to me) early blues music, into the Allman Brothers and then to TTB. I’ll leave their tiny desk concert below and encourage you to treat your ears to something nice.

Have Guitar Will Travel

Posted on July 14, 2023 by BandOfOne

Here’s some concept development art I’ve been working on for a project I might want to explore. I’m just looking to create questions with these explorations. Who created this enourmous guitar amplifier robot. And why? Who is the kid, and where are they headed? This post apocalyptic duo might have a story to tell.

I’m not too sure why I backed off with colour on these. But I kind of like it.

I was thoroughly inspired by Alex Vede with this set of illustrations. I think Alex is probably influenced by a bunch of the same illustrators that I’ve been looking at recently like Mike Mignola, Ashley Wood and Jim Mahfood. But seeing Alex’s work really gave me a kick up the backside. Go check out his stuff if you’re not already familiar!
