“I feel the most inspired by music,” shared Feighan in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog. “I’m a huge fan of Brian Wilson, his music from the mid 60s-early 70s is incredible. I’m also into tapestries and weavings from central and South America, that’s been inspiring a lot of my color and design lately.”

His aim with his work (whatever the medium) is to create a certain vibe—transporting the viewer or listener to another place altogether. “I always want to try and take people out of their current space or mindset and put them somewhere new,” he explains. “I want my work to feel familiar, but fresh and a bit strange. When I started making this artwork I used to say that I was trying to create a world that I would like to live in.”

His tip to other aspiring creatives? Keep working. “Don’t let yourself get down or stressed about too much in your work, if you have ideas keep trying to make them happen,” he stresses. “The biggest lesson I think I’ve learned is just to trust my own ideas and concepts and to work as hard as I can to execute them. It’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and it’s always important to remember to come back to your own concepts.”

But it’s perhaps its colors that stand out most. Using exclusively red, white, and black, its color pallet is meant to alarm you but only just. “I think while growing up I had a volume of The Red and the Black by Stendahl in my bookshelf and later it was referenced by Jacques Brel in his song ‘Me Me Quitte Pas,’” recalled Wallenberg-Olsson in an interview with Totally Stockholm, explaining her choice of color. “I actually never read the book, but I was intrigued by the title, the anarchist colors. For me, I thought red and white would make a more relevant marriage – it’s minimalistic, a reduction, a way to deal with the multiple choices of capitalism. It’s also saying we’re pretty – but don’t eat us, we are deadly!”

Most of Grebnellaw’s performances are site-specific, using the “three-minute-pop song” format. By doing so, they blend together pop music, visual art, and performance to create a mind-boggling experience that’s part visual, part aural. It’s an experience that has caught the attention of the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, and even the Coliseum in Rome – all of which have hosted this unique group.

Szabo-Haslam titled the project Waveform and he accepts commissions – he can turn any song you want into a poster. Isn’t that just the perfect gift for your music-loving friend or a special way to celebrate a song that has a special place in your heart?

“I’m a freelance designer, associate lecturer, and crowdfunder working remotely from my studio in Sheffield — or on-site for a range of clients and agencies,” the artist wrote on his website. “I work independently, and sometimes collaborate with other creatives to roll-out graphic design and branding for education institutions, conferences and festivals, music and arts organisations across the UK. Since late-2018 I’ve freelanced as a UI Designer.”

He can create the designs in over 1,800 different colors so you can easily fit yours into any home, office, or studio. To see more, visit his Instagram page.
