Fourth in my series of reimagined Bon Iver album covers. i,i felt so much more hopeful than 22, A Million. It had colour and mayhem and company. Can’t wait to continue with SABLE, fABLE next. Hope you’re all enjoying these!
This one was trickier than the last two. 22, A Million is such a fractured, symbolic, layered piece of work I sort of assumed it would lend itself easily to my mixed media style. But I found myself second guessing each placement. Several repeats of the album in the background and I think I captured it though. Would love to hear your thoughts. Onto i,i…
i’ve always loved 22AM and have >!a 22 tattoo, but my god it’s got a whole new layer of meaning now.!<
i’m a couple days post psych ward after a very near attempt.
amidst all the chaos of poor eating, sleep, and terrorizing from another patient, an 8 circle lyric came back to me.
“hall light wishes”. every night in bed with the hall light coming into my room, i made a wish of something i wanted to see when i made it out.
i have large gaps in my memory, so i don’t recall every wish. but the hope that lyric brought me has been such a lifeline
so surreal to be on the other side, still making hall light wishes as i readjust to life. <3
Best cover ever.
This giveaway has been approved by the mod team, and they verified that I purchased a ticket.
I bought a single, two-day GA pass to Eaux Claires Festival that I'm giving away to a member of this subreddit. The festival is set to be held on July 24th and 25th. I'm so sad to miss it, but I can't attend because of my work schedule. I'd rather give it away for free than resell it. In the current social climate, love and kindness is a form of resistance (thanks for the words David Byrne).
To enter, please leave a comment and include your favorite Bon Iver/BI-adjacent lyrics or song title.
Some further info: this giveaway will close at 5:00 PM PST on Sunday, July 5th (I want to give weekend users a chance as well). At this time I’ll use BlitzRocket Reddit Comment Picker to select one comment randomly. I'll DM the winner on reddit, and they will have 48 hours to respond before I select another winner. I’ll need the winner's email address in order to forward the ticket when I receive it. *Please do not enter if you are not comfortable with sharing your email address with me.*
Full disclosure, my email receipt states, "Your Digital PrintPass(es) will be emailed to the address you provided closer to the event." I am not sure exactly when I will receive my ticket, this is all the info I have.
Good luck to everyone!!!
Edited to fix some grammar and add - I’m loving all of your submissions already! Seeing all of these standout lyrics goes to show how brilliant of a writer JV is. I can hear pretty much every single one in my head when I read them :)
My Dad with the major hookup from vacation.. cause he knows the song and my musical obsession. multiple train & plane rides later!
Thanks for all the love on my FEFA piece! Here’s the next in my series. A more expansive, curious, exploratory work like BI, BI needed something that captured that sense of growth and wonder. Hope you like it. Onto 22, A Million next!
Hey guys… when the store opened for this hat I immediately bought one and wore it everyday.. my absolute most favorite hat. Well as fate would have it, I lost it in Pearl Harbor due to a gust of wind, and it got lost in the ocean. Does anybody by chance have an extra I could buy off of them?
I’m an artist who listens to music when making art. I’ve been getting more and more interested in capturing music in my artwork and thought a good place to start would be with imagining my favourite albums. Started with For Emma, Forever Ago and working my way through the Bon Iver discography. Hope you like it!
Played in Eau Claire, WI for the first time yesterday! Always proud to be reppin’ Bon Iver with the 22, A Million stickers on my board! 🎹🎶❤️
EDIT: Some folks have asked who I played with, it was The Mighty Pines, based out of St. Louis, MO! Just didn’t want to shamelessly self promote!
Recently discovered this artist, Oxis. I like a lot of what I’ve heard especially the live recordings posted to instagram. Realized there’s a Skinny Love cover! Interested to hear what you all think.
Can no longer make it (would have been travelling from the UK and work has now got in the way sadly) and don’t want them to go to waste. Gutted especially now Fred Again has been announced. DM if you’re interested! Thanks.
