November 23, 2021 ~ Helen

The sound of the flute gave me an image of a waterfall and a cat couple

Animal Alphabet Musical Instruments: E is for Eigenharp

November 3, 2021 ~ Helen

I listened to a demonstration of the Eigenharp and this Howler Monkey gay throuple introduced themselves in my head and they wanted to play on the Eigenharp.

Animal Alphabet Musical Instruments: D is for Djembe

October 28, 2021 ~ Helen

I like to listen to each instrument and I let the animals come to me and say they should be drawn playing that particular instrument . I liked the fast rhythm of the drumming so some wolves decided it’s their turn to come out and play.

Animal Alphabet Musical Instruments: C is for Cymbals

C is for Cymbals. When I listened to orchestral cymbals I felt a sensation of being down at the bottom of the ocean and the deep sea pressure. So this illustration is of the crew of a submersible discovering that one of the eerie sounds coming from an ocean trench is a Dumbo Octopus using Cymbals to tell the world how much he loves his ‘man’

Animal Alphabet Musical Instruments: B is for Balalaika

October 18, 2021 ~ Helen

B is for Balalaika. So when I listened to it I saw sharp bright blue spikes (realising I may have another synaesthesia type) and spiders so here’s two dudes courting and making beautiful music together.

Animal Alphabet Musical Instruments: A is for Alphorn

October 5, 2021 ~ Helen

For this picture I listened to the Alphorn on YouTube and felt this deep red colour, my usual artistic process is that the artwork I should do appears in my head as a completed image so I then create it. This panda and his mouse boyfriend appeared in my mind’s art gallery.
