A Grind of Red-winged Blackbirds

Meet Beautiful Day Records: a project idea born from the desire to create album art for recordings of nature. The idea came to me a few years ago while reading Learning by Heart by Corita Kent and Jan Steward, and I quickly began recording short clips of audio on my phone. Years later I finally created the first illustration to go with one of the recordings (better late than never!). To tie the series together, I created a fictional record label: Beautiful Day Records.

I have many more ideas for this series, but as already shown it’s not on a fast track. More will come, in time.
