Prospect 100 Contest: Halloween Concert Poster
My original artwork is inspired by Hozier’s latest album, Unreal Unearth, which draws influence from Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman and Greek mythology.
To me, the album serves as a metaphorical exploration of how we perceive and shape our realities. Through its profound lyricism and philosophical depth, it invites deep reflection.
Two songs, in particular, shaped my design: Unknown / Nth, which delves into the themes of betrayal in Dante’s ninth circle of hell, and De Selby Pt. 1, which explores self-reflection and the dark art of metamorphosis. These influences manifest in visual elements such as the bitten heart and the descending steps of the well, symbolizing the circles of hell.
Cry Baby Bum
My artwork is a custom poster portraying my girlfriend in the style of Crybaby, the beloved art toy by Thai artist Mod-Nisa Srikhumdee (Molly). Inspired by Crybaby’s expressive and whimsical design, I reimagined her as a character sitting on a glass of matcha - her favorite drink.
The piece reflects the essence of Crybaby, which embodies a range of emotions, from vulnerability to strength. By incorporating matcha, I added a personal touch that makes the artwork uniquely hers, blending her personality with the charm of Crybaby’s signature aesthetic. This fusion of personal and artistic inspiration celebrates both her individuality and the cultural influence of art toys.
