This year's October Playlist started pretty tame and then I went insane and took it into questionably far places :'D My mind's exhausted but I'm happy to have done the challenge and as always, some fun ideas came out of it. Big shoutouts to the artists these pieces are based off of and to the people who followed each piece as I was posting them throughout the month <3

Knife Party & Tom Morello - Battle Sirens

Today is the official release date of Knife Party and Tom Morello's collab track "Battle Sirens"! It's also the first official feature of the KP characters on a Knife Party track!!

I also got to work on the video for this track, too:

I've been a fan of Tom Morello since middle school, frequently listening to Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Fast forward to 2012, post-graduating from college I drew this character for the first time:

"Battle Sirens" is a track that combines my music tastes from growing up to the present and having the opportunity to work on the art for it is surreal. 

So many feels. 

I can't even.
