Dream Gigs Illustrated is a series of gig posters by an ever growing group of artists. Imaginary gigs that never happened, missed gigs because of time and place, gigs that are experienced first hand and have left their mark... It’s up to the artist to decide. The possibilities are endless.
I chose Blur, because they are one of the bands that influenced me the most. Nourished by the absurd origins of British humor, they have a tremendous energy containing full contrast of the 90s. They are more than just a nostalgic band for me.
Blur members always reminded me of breakfast objects and food. I think that’s why I imagined a giant breakfast table and miniature Blur members with their pajamas playing a special concert to someone as in this illustration.
Every time I listen to “Parklife”, I can’t help but laugh at “I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too” part. And I’m using that sentence as a proverb. Thanks for that Blur!
