Week 6 - Stencil

For my sketchbook cover, I'm making a stencil of one of my favorite musician's emblems. This symbol, which is comprised of a crescent moon, an eye, and a tear drop, was created for Chelsea Wolfe's album, Abyss. Chelsea Wolfe is an American singer-songwriter and musician, her music is considered a mix of gothic rock, doom metal, and folk music. She was raised in Northern California and released her first album in 2010. She is one of my absolute favorite musicians and I resonate with her music so much. She perfectly blends together the hard elements of goth and doom while still having more gentle elements with her folk influences. She's such a well rounded musician and she's extremely down to earth and soft spoken outside of her performances and music. I love her aesthetic as well and I take a lot of inspiration from her in terms of the way I'd like to dress and present myself.
This was also the very first symbol I saw when I went to see her in concert for the first time. It was projected onto the stage and it's one of the only pictures I have from that show. It stuck with me all of this time and I think it looks so cool. It's definitely the type of image I'd love to get tattooed, it's so minimal and esoteric-esque. But overall, I just really like Chelsea Wolfe and her music and I want to represent that on the cover of my sketchbook.
