I’m a little late in making this collage—but that’s just what happens when you’re juggling a lot of projects at once. When I saw this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, I was mesmerized. It was a work of art, and I knew I had to create something inspired by it.

I had a lot of fun working on this portrait of Kendrick Lamar. I loved the grin on his face when he said, “Hey Drake,” and I wanted to capture that energy in my collage. I mainly used solid colors, incorporating more texture into the background.

In general, I’m really happy with how much work I’ve created so far this year. I’ve already made more artwork than I usually complete in an entire year. It’s amazing how much progress you can make when you build more routine into your schedule.

Andrew McMahon has been one of my favorite musicians for years. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve put many of his albums on repeat. Even now, as an adult, I continue to enjoy listening to his new and old music, as well as seeing him perform live. I thought it would be great to create a portrait of Andrew since his music has meant a lot to me.

It took me a decent chunk of time to complete this piece, although it wasn’t as much of a struggle as some of my other portraits. I think it would be fun to work on a series of musician portraits, although I might start working on another series inspired by a TV show soon. We shall see…
