I'm an artist known for my pixel art, but I'm now working on a comics project, so I had to practice my skills after many years of creating only pixel art. This little project is my way of exercising, and a tribute for all these fantastic musicians.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Lyrics: Freddie Mercury
It will be 30 years next year since Freddie passed away...unbelievable how time flies :-(
I was just thinking about that the other day. I remember exactly where I was when I heard he'd died, a record store called Middle Earth in Downey, CA.
Load More Replies...So true! I still play them all the time. Know every word... my best friend"... Innuendo,...lover Boy"...RADIO...Bicycles...All so smart and deep, clever, creative, ...Roger and Freddie so beautiful...the talent beyond words all of them.
Load More Replies......Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time... (anyone gonna continue this?)
Mama ooo ooooo I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I never been born at all

Lyrics: Bob Thiele and George David Weiss
Aaaaah Mr Louis Armstrong, my heart breaks every time i hear this song...
I've been to his house. It's a museum in Corona, Queens, a neighborhood in NYC. It's a very nice middle class house of the late 60s. Mr. Armstrong wasn't pretentious at all.
November Rain
Lyrics: Axl Rose
this is very pretty, and the song is nice too ♥ but does it actually rain in november?
Certainly does where I live. It's Autumn rainy season

Darling just dive right in, follow my lead (someone sing along with me :)
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet I never knew you were someone waiting for me

Lyrics: Debbie Harry and Nigel Harrison
Sadly disturbing. Unfortunately I believe Deb was sexually assaulted during her Blondie days during a home invasion....
In an interview she said she had a stalker for a while, and that's what the song about.
Load More Replies...According to Genius Lyrics, Blondie was almost kidnapped by Ted Bundy- apparently she was out early in the morning and he was trying to offer her a ride. So that might be what this drawing is based on... creepy.
Tribute
Lyrics: Kyle Gass and Jack Black
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no. This is just a tribute.
Andrew Gibb, I can't stop thinking of the adorable Andy Gibb. Rip
Load More Replies...I completely forgot that Jack Black was the front man for his own band...which consisted of him abs another fella...never heard this before but wow...
Man In Black
Lyrics: Johnny Cash
Ironic
Lyrics: Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard

The only thing ironic in this song is the complete lack of irony.
Yeeesss I love this song like a good 90's girl. And it rained (and snowed) sooo much on my wedding day, but it was perfect, just got married and toke a warm nap that day.
Rain on your wedding day is supposed to be good luck

Heartbreak Hotel
Lyrics: Mae Boren Axton, Thomas Durden and Elvis Presley
Most people identify with him based on his reputation and not his music, which is a shame. His voice and talent rivals anyone, past or present.
Juice
Lyrics: Lizzo, Eric Frederic, Theron Thomas, Sam Sumser and Sean Small
If you're wondering, this is the first line of juice by lizzo. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, don't say it cause I know I'm cute"
She also doesn't actually look like a cartoon....?

Especially if u actually listen and make out the true meaning of the song
Load More Replies...YES! FINALLY, BILLIE EILISH IS GETTING RECOGNISED! I love this song
i'm glad you're glad, but she's definitely not underground... i think 1/4 teenagers in the US at least have listened to her 😅

The Alabama Song
Lyrics: Bertolt Brecht (translated to English by Elisabeth Hauptmann)
I think Hendrix is in the 'Morrison Hotel'. Hendrix and Jim Morrison hung out together. There is a Lizard King poster. A yellowhammer is a bird from Alabama and the banana is a nod to Andy Warhol, who created an album cover for the Velvet Underground and photographed The Doors.
Your'e awesome! There are a few more easter eggs there.
Load More Replies...Is that—Jimi Hendrix—drinking at next bar? (read it in the melody of the song)
Like A Prayer
Lyrics: Madonna and Patrick Leonard
Somehow, I don't think Madonna ever had to worry about the KKK burning a cross in her front yard. Or, am I misinterpreting this illustration?
It was a prominent feature in the video for the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fzeNUqQbQ
Load More Replies...Remember she sported a black Jesus abs hot backlashed for it...maybe the burning cross was the cause of that
Space Cowboy
Lyrics: Kacey Musgraves, Luke Laird and Shane McAnally
7 Rings
Lyrics: Ariana Grande, Victoria Monét, Tayla Parx, Njomza Vitia, Kaydence, Tommy Brown, Charles Anderson and Michael Foster
I really love Ariana Grande but this song just really lowered my support for her. It was just so unnecessary and uncomfortable honestly to listen to her flaunt her wealth.
Right?!? It took that many people to come up with that garbage?

It's the sad world of overproduced pop music.
Load More Replies...The person who originally wrote it was then pressured to have all the others make 'changes' and so take a lower and lower percentage take of royalties. The old adage in songwriting - add a word, get a third. In this case a much smaller percentage. I know of successful songwriters who need to work full time jobs because the songs they wrote that sold in their millions don't pay them enough.
I don't like her but I'm proud of her that she became something where she doesn't have to dance for creepy abusive men anymore.
