Sometime in January, I started an Elton John playlist and have been listening to him almost exclusively ever since. There’s something about his timeless music—and Bernie Taupin’s beautiful verse—that is resonating with me right now. A bit of melancholy, a bit of joy, his library of song is just the comfort I need at the “end” of the pandemic (and perhaps start to World War III as Putin continues to Putin). It’s hard to pick a favourite but this will always be near the top. It’s beautiful.
As I continue to learn Procreate, Sir Elton John seemed the perfect, colourful subject to capture in digital ink.
