Illustrated Album Covers - Songs in the Key of Life

Inspired by the illustrations from classic children's books, this is one of 18 new illustrated album covers I put together for an art show in my hometown.

Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder. This is a double album, with an additional 7-inch EP of even more songs. Not only is this one of my favourite albums, I would go so far as to say this is one of the greatest albums of all time. Wonder's talents as a musician and songwriter are on full display throughout this incredible piece of work. If you haven't listened to this album before, I highly recommend you do it now.

All album covers were initially sketched in pencil, then scanned into Illustrator and then traced into a Live Paint vector image. Shading and strokes were added in Illustrator as well, using the amazing RetroSupply Co. Gouache Shader Brushes.
