After conducting thorough research on the song “Mr. Rager,” I
identified the key symbols integral to its narrative, such as birds and the references to ascending to heaven as metaphors for addiction.
To visually represent these themes, I drew inspiration from the iconic Sistine Chapel Ceiling, incorporating elements that evoke a divine presence. Additionally, I illustrated a crypt to symbolize death, capturing the song’s exploration of life’s darker aspects.
To bring the artwork to life, I employed a variety of brushes,
meticulously adding layers of depth and texture. This technique created a compelling visual effect, making it appear as though heaven is dangerously close to the protagonist, almost within his grasp. This visual proximity underscores the tension and allure of temptation, mirroring the song’s themes of aspiration and the dangers that accompany it.
By blending classical inspiration with modern symbolism, I aimed to create a piece that resonates deeply with the song’s emotional and thematic content to call attention to the poster for the tour.
