The Picturesque Scene of Passing Fantasies

MUSIC is something I can't live without. I've been a music fan since a long time ago and been a concert go-ers right after I can earn my own money. I listen to some music genres, from pop, rock, japanese-rock, electronic, and indie music. The latest band I found very interesting was IDEALS. They are four-piece-London-based-indie-band who're formed on 2010. I knew about them from my best mate, Sindi, who lives in Sweden now. She gave me the link to their video, Lungs and I was instantly falling in love with them. Not too long after that, they released their video, Significant Other . This video definitely made me a huge fan of them. It is still become my favorite video of them until now. Significant Other was the trigger for me to make arts for them. It was started by making Ben Ward portrait painting . (Ben is my favorite member of the band.) I had no intention at all when I made it. It was simply because I am a portrait painter and I've done some artists and musicians...

Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPgHrHLz7lY A brand new video from Ideals called Altar. The video contains 0% Ben Ward, but it still amazing! You can pre-order the upcoming EP here: http://store.intruderlabel.com/product/ideals-let-your-anger-leave-you-ep-limited-ed-12-vinyl Tessa x

This is the poster I made for IDEALS gig on August 4th in Ipswich, UK featuring These Ghosts and Rory Hill. It’s inspired by their video, Lungs . PS. Thinking that this piece of work was being stuck on the bars' wall and other places in Ipswich is thrilling. So happy that my work can be involved in Ideals' music history. Tessa x
