A tall, thin man in a dramatically flapping red coat stands backlit against a sky filled with fluffy white clouds. He has spiky blond hair and is holding a chrome revolver next to his head.

I have been informed that this is not a lute but a bouzouki!!! Correcting in the interest of posterity and also in the hopes that someone else can learn about a new sickass instrument too :3

Before, during, and after the #franzferdinand concert at House Of Blues tonight. These guys have been one of my favorite bands for the last like, fifteen years and it was so crazy to finally see them live (I cried 😭). GENUINELY the most fun I've ever had at a concert, see them if you can!

This whole project was hand-dyed and hand-painted, and the patches, appliques, and little charms were all hand sewn! I illustrated the big back piece, and the bug ghoul :)
