ILLUSTRATION

Burn Black is a hardcore/punk community zine that collects raw stories in text, photography, and art. For its “Influence” issue, the zine was taking artists’ interpretations of their favorite albums that influenced them as a person or artist.
As an old school hardcore fan, I chose to reinterpret the Cro-Mags "Age of Quarrel" cover in fan girl style. I love juxtaposing my two sides, hardcore punk and girly girl. A recurring theme in my designs, I love combining my two very polar styles into something new.
"With this recreation I wanted to pull in the attitude of my store Mystic Mayhem by combining the genres of two completely opposite styles. I wanted to make something you'd find in your little sisters notebook, but with some deeper more intense subject manner. I don't know if Cro-Mags would approve of this teen heart-throb stylized version of their album cover, but they would be proud of my "don't give a fuck" attitude when making something as absurd as this."
