Twin Shadow - Saturdays
This post is basically the same as my last, illustrating some response I’ve been getting to my music based work on Instagram. Twin Shadow is the stage name of a musician otherwise known as George Lewis Jr, and this illustration is in response to his song Saturdays with the band HAIM. Twin Shadow’s Instagram account liked this post, which I didn’t ever expect to happen as his fanbase is quite large and he’s worked on massive scale projects, writing with HAIM, producing some for Lady Gaga, and having his music appear on the 2013 game Grand Theft Auto V. Because of all this, he’s a musician I’ve been aware of for quite a few years, so getting some response to this piece, even if it is just a small one on social media, was a confidence boost for me.
I don’t usually put a lot of stake in Instagram likes, as I feel they don’t have much permanence outside the moment in which that particular person sees a particular post. I’m guilty of being on the opposite side, liking things and then later that day forgetting who made them or why I liked them. I’ve been trying to alter my perception to this model, because Instagram will be a platform to depend on when we leave uni, and I want to try to understand it and how to use it properly for creative benefit in time for then. However, there is a lot of content on instagram that genuinely provides inspiration for me on a daily basis, so I know from experience that not every like you recieve is just the mindless double tap of someone who thought the colour choice was cool. For this reason, it was a confidence boost getting even the smallest response from Twin Shadow in regard to the work I made for his song, as it’s just a reminder that people can appreciate your work and learn your name slowly that way, not everything is a big deal and huge commission opportunity.
