Back in May, good friend of mine and freelance music writer Ian Hsieh, notified me that he would be doing a review of Quantic’s new record dropping in July and a feature on the project for Notion magazine’s August issue. When he suggested doing an illustration inspired by the new album “Tradition in Transition” i was a little reluctant to jump on board with the idea because i was swamped with commissioned work… That was until i received a promo of the album a week later and quite literally fell in love with the summer infused, Latin American music inspired 12 track Long Player.
I have always been a fan of Quantic and his music and the more i listened to the album the more compelled i felt to create a piece of work inspired by the albums captivating sound.
Amid all the other work i had going on this month im really glad i stuck through with this illustration and saw it out till the end. Can’t remember last time i got 2 design something for me that wasn’t commissioned… a warm sense of accomplishment .
