ART+MUSIC+DANIEL HIGGS

If you are browsin’ yer local book or record shop, try and find a copy of Artist Music Journals – Edition 03, out now. Artist Music Journals is a limited edition small book series curated by Soundscreen Design, focusing on the inseparable connection between music and art. So, each month, a visual artist or musician will be asked to create a 24-page book of artworks, drawing inspiration from their connection to music. The different ways in which each artist chooses to represent their connection to music is what makes this ongoing series so intriguing and diverse and to ice the rink, each book is limited to 1000 copies so they are collectors items. Very cool indeed. The third and latest installment features the work of Daniel Higgs, a musician (Lungfish / Pupils) and artist from Baltimore, Maryland, who has been a contributor to the independent art and music community for nearly 3 decades. Ask your mom, she will know him. His artistic work ranges from musical records to books of poetry to visual collections. Higgs has always worked in the mediums of music and art simultaneously, and for his Artist Music Journal he mined over 10+ years of his archives and notebooks to compile a diverse and inspiring collection of drawings, paintings and collage works.
