Spot Illustrations - The Pitchfork Review Jazz Issue

A collection of Jazz Movement Study spot illustrations for Pitchfork Review’s jazz issue. Referencing various music composition, performance and recording methods utilized by Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus and others, these drawings represent both the past and future of jazz, not just as a leisurely pastime, but as a professional practice and lifestyle. Drawn on black paper with various white mediums, these illustrations are meant to imitate the dark and smoky mood in jazz clubs of the past.
