Songs in the Sitting Room

October 16, 2015

Forward-looking ideas for a local music collective called Songs in the Sitting Room, featuring some illustrations I’m really proud of.

Songs in the Sitting Room is a group in Austin, TX dedicated to finding and promoting local musicians. Miranda Hoffman, Sophie Kwok and I had the honor of working on ideas to help the group grow and move out of their living room and into a venue. I illustrated some of our top ideas.

For 6 months, Songs in the Sitting Room was a concert series held in increasingly crowded rooms around town. SITSR talked to us about their dream venue, and vision of helping connect local artists to their community. SITSR wants to create an environment where all kinds of creative people are able to meet, be inspired, and hear great music.
