Harmonizing Threads: The Art of Translating Music into Fashion at MDMA

When Michael commissioned me to paint his favourite band Depeche Mode’s Violator album I was both excited and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I’ve always loved that album and the it’s cover but I was nervous because I’m always nervous with commissions!

But it didn’t take me long to put on the album and paint while looking at the album cover. It was pure joy listening to those songs which transported me back in time to when they originally hit the airwaves and I was in High School. Eventually the colours danced onto the canvas through me and I was elated with the result. Luckily, Michael was too!

Seeing the design on the clothing line just gives me that extra bit of satisfaction as wearable art becomes more popular.
