'Inner Punk' Illustration

See this content in the original post

'Inner Punk' is an illustration in which a head (with mohawk / cockscomb) is shown. The Punk is wearing headphones. He has the plug of the headphones in his mouth. The artwork was made to sell as a vinyl decal in a Mr. Upside webshop.

Sticker
The illustration is my personal work. Intended as a vinyl sticker. To sell in my own webshop. The webshop is now offline. But the webshop sold my own illustrations as limited edition art print on very luxurious paper.

Listening to yourself and to others

Concept
It is a 'long time frustration' that people mainly 'send'; People are mainly busy telling their own story. Listening is a skill that not everyone has mastered, unfortunately. And 'listening' is even twofold. Listening to others. And listening to yourself. The headphone plug in this illustration is also mainly about listening to yourself.

Metaphor for listening

Graphic elements
I had a graphic look in mind for this 'Inner Punk'. Without too much color. Something with a 'halftone pattern' and thick lines. Grays in the image should be represented by a halftone pattern.

Apple iPad Pro and Adobe Draw
The artwork was sketched and mostly finished on the iPad Pro. With the drawing program Adobe Draw. After the image had reached a certain level, it was loaded into Adobe Illustrator on a desktop and finished there. The 'halftone pattern' was also added there.
