The world over, many artists are inspired by art of another medium: music. This universally emotional conduit has proven time and again how inspirational it can be when it comes to visual artists and the creations they bring into the world. Pretty much everyone can relate to the ethereal feeling of seeing a vision in your head when that certain song begins to play on the radio. I, myself, am incredibly inspired by both music and lyrics in my own art, and decided to create a regular news feature specific to certain bands/musical artists to showcase the works on DA that have encapsulated those unique visions that music gives us all.

Bands are chosen by me based and searched in the DA database. I am more than open to suggestions if you would like to see a certain band or artist featured. Choice of art is based on personal opinion for original works inspired by songs/lyrics/bands. I will not be including fan art, concert photography, any art including use of the band's copyrighted album art, photography or logo (unless logo is applied to an original art work), or any "interpretations" of a copyrighted image the band has used. I will feature original art works, from an artist's imagination based on the featured band.



This Feature: PINK FLOYD
Pink Floyd are an English rock band who initially earned recognition for their psychedelic or space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. They are known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone. Pink Floyd have influenced progressive rock artists of the 1970s such as Genesis and Yes; and contemporary artists such as Nine Inch Nails.





If you know of, or have any, art pieces you'd like to share based on Pink Floyd's music that I have not featured here, please post a comment below and share it with us! And as always, feel free to recommend bands or artists you would like to see in future features.

Until next time...
