Everyone is influenced in some way in their lives, whether it is by someone you know, an actor, a character in a movie, a song…
This is a collection of art that has been produced while Under the Influence of Music.

Through a series of articles, I will bring you art of all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles.
From digital art, to traditional art, and even photography and literature.
Artist Statements are included to allow the viewer to get into the heads of those who have created such wonderful art.
We will be exploring categories of art styles as well as objects in the art.

In the third installment of UTIOM, we will be taking a look at work that incorporates songs and/or lyrics into the piece.

Wicked Lyrics
Wicked Lyrics by Kare-San

"The Wicked Lyrics piece was inspired by three things. Firstly, I saw a piece where someone had made a clarinet out of the lyrics of multiple songs, and I thought it was fascinating, and I wanted to try it. Secondly, I have always been addicted to broadway and the music that comes from it. Often times I'll memorize an entire CD before I see a show. Thirdly I loved the book wicked, and when I heard they were making it into a show, I was ecstatic, bought the CD, and, of course, memorized almost every word. Coupled together I decided to use the lyrics for different "Wicked" songs to make Elpaba's body (dress and hat, really) and then color the face. It was a very fun project, and took quite a bit of time (had to draw all the shapes in, then draw the words, then do them all in ink and I tried to capture the surge of emotions at the end of defying gravity by making the words bigger. . .) and I am fairly happy with the result.
Notably, I have a hard copy of the piece signed by the cast of "Wicked" when I saw it, which still included Idina Menzel!"
Kare-San

Sublime Lyrics
Sublime lyrics by taterFRIGGnsalad

"I actually made it in like 10 minutes, haha. I like the funkiness of it, and the song is such a good song. Sublime is a great band too."
taterFRIGGnsalad

Hey There Delilah
Hey There Delilah by taterFRIGGnsalad

"The lyrics are from the song hey there Delilah, I love that song. I didn’t take the picture, I found it on the net, but I love that picture. I kind of wish I didn’t put in the colored shapes and stuff, looking back I don’t really like them anymore, I think the lyrics themselves probably could did the job but oh well, what can ya do?"
taterFRIGGnsalad

Don’t Turn Around
Don't turn around... by taterFRIGGnsalad

"The lyrics are from a song probably everyone has heard, don’t turn around by Ace of Base. I love the picture.."

Maroon5– Songs About Jane
:thumb45584978:

"I made the deviation because I had always been into Maroon5, and I really love their music. They have a different sound for every song (unlike some artists who all their songs sound the same) and even though the lyrics tend to be a bit risqué, I really like them. That and I needed to take up a page in my sketchbook."

BRAINSICK Lyrics Collage
BRAINSICK : Lyrics Collage by JillianLambertArt

"A simple collage page featuring lyrics from some of my favorite songs. Depeche Mode and Peter Gabriel have particularly strong influences over my drawings."

Spend All Our Day in a Dream
BRAINSICK : Spend All Our Day in a Dream by JillianLambertArt

"A drawing symbolizing the uncomfortable 'relationships' my characters often have with one another."

Fixxxer

Mature Content

Fixxxer by TerraRhapsody


(Inspired by:Fixxxer- Metallica)
"A rather sad song from the perspective of the voodoo doll (metaphorically speaking). I concentrated on the lyrics 'Just when all seems fine and I'm pain-free, jab another pin, jab another pin in me.' It's such a heart-felt quote because everyone has their problems, and sometimes it feels like they're getting worse. This is one of my favourite deviations."
TerraRhapsody

Out Of Control - I
Out Of Control- I by TerraRhapsody

(Inspired by: Out Of Control- The Chemical Brothers)
"I love the beat to this song, and it has an unbelievable video. The inspiration it gave me was to show violence, but not as it happens. To only show the aftermath, and the insinuation of violence. It means viewers can imagine how it came about, rather than having something shoving it in their face."
TerraRhapsody

The Fallen Angel
The Fallen Angel by TerraRhapsody

(Inspired by: The Fallen Angel- Iron Maiden)
"Iron Maiden tell stories through their songs, so this picture can paint however many of those words. I'd always wondered how a fallen angel would look. I took this literally to mean a fallen winged servant of God, and this is how I thought it would look. The lyrics of the song to not necessitate gore, and this was the simplest way to make it sad yet shocking."
TerraRhapsody

Master Of Puppets
Master Of Puppets by TerraRhapsody

(Inspired by: Master Of Puppets- Metallica)
"This is a conceptual shot, showing how people are blinded to the control people have over them. The strings are always in the shadows. I'm a big Metallica fan, so I felt I needed to fit a picture to the song."
TerraRhapsody

Pretty Piece Of Flesh

Mature Content

Pretty Piece Of Flesh by TerraRhapsody


(Inspired by: Pretty Piece Of Flesh- One Inch Punch)
"Essentially this song was made for the more recent Romeo And Juliet Film adaptation. The words Pretty Piece of Flesh meant someone sexy (or similar). Nowadays, that wouldn't be the case. This is taken to a very literal sense. Does someone want to damage their body in such a way that they can be that pretty piece of flesh?"
TerraRhapsody

Be Yourself
Be Yourself by TerraRhapsody

(Inspired by: Be Yourself- Audioslave)
"Until about a year and a half ago, this song meant nothing to me. The lyrics were beautiful, yes, but since I met my boyfriend, it grew some meaning. I can't be anything but myself around him. The words on the mask are some of the memorable things I've been described as over the years. The thing is, whatever I am, whatever those words make me, it's doing something right, and I wouldn't change it for the world."
TerraRhapsody

Pain Of Me
Pain Of Mine by TerraRhapsody

(Inspired by: Until It Sleeps- Metallica)
"Everyone has pain inside. The song was written about cancer. This picture is based on the lyrics Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side.
Pain is described as if it were something that could be gotten rid of- something solid. I fancied taking it quite literally, and put together this box, that says pain to me. I can see everyone having one of these inside."
TerraRhapsody

Until It Sleeps

Mature Content

Until It Sleeps by TerraRhapsody


(Inspired by: Until It Sleeps- Metallica)
"As you can see, this song is very inspirational to me. Here, I wanted to show something dependent on something- like a parasite. The rose here isn’t coated in blood because I wanted the illusion of it not being pushed through the hand, but rather growing there. I matched the colours of the blood and the rose as well as I could.
Just like the curse, Just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care.
"
TerraRhapsody

Killing Time Again


Now The World


Love Like Winter – WIP Finished
:thumb43264863:

"Well what can I say? Firstly, last year and the beginning of this, has bought loads of new music to my ears. And one of the bands being AFI. Although they have been around for many years, I never heard of them till last year when Miss Murder came out. AFI's music and lyrics are one of my main sources of inspiration. The words that Davey writes, come to life when he sings them.....he adds more to them, than just being lyrics as anyone who likes AFI will know.
One of my favourite songs by AFI is "The Missing Frame". The lyrics mean so much to me. Two years before, my Gran died and I never found the comfort I needed. The first time I heard this song I cried. The lyrics were so truthful, that it hit a nerve. "One at a time, heart attacks are concealed, I can see that I lose the joys of life, One at a time."
The music played by Jade, Adam and Hunter reinforced that as well as Davey's voice, that sorta expressed the sorrow I was feeling.
From that day I never looked back to the things I should have said or could have said. I remember the good times.
And as artists ourselves, we are inspired by daily events, personal times as well as other artist's creations. For me Lyrics and Music play a big part in my life now, although I may not always show it! "

I Like The Red One
I like the red one by Arquen54

"Based on the Trivium song 'Like Light to the Flies' and including one of my favourite lyrics of all time "This seems to suit you better, bleeding out the eyes I Like The Red One, like the song I believe, depicts the extreme measures some people go to to please evey one, the pain and confusion of changing yourself constantly to make sure people like you."
Arquen54

Monroe
Monroe by Arquen54

"One of a 4 part series based on My Chemical Romance songs, monroe represents the loss of beauty. The album 3 Cheers for Sweet Revenge is a comic book like story of a couple whose town is overrun by vampires. The girl is bitten by one and to stop her becoming evil the guy kills her before she transforms. A nice little bit of fantasy, but looking deeper I chose to see it as losing something about yourself, something beautiful: thus beauty."
Arquen54

I Never
I Never by Arquen54

"The final of the 4 part My Chemical Romance series this is taken from the song 'I Never Told You What I Did For a Living' and represents the loss of life as seen in the lyric Never again, no never again they gave us two shots to the back of the head and we're all dead now. Since the day I first heard this song I've been drawn to those lyrics and wanted to represent them graphically as music holds such a power over my personal Design."
Arquen54

Must Just Be The Colors
:thumb49161042:

"This poem was inspired by Cat Power and (the memory of) love, the traces it leaves behind. Also synaesthesia, and how I can imagine music as colors and pictures sometimes."
trinhiro

Shotgun


"Lyrics to live by, I believe. If I had a shotgun you know what I’d do; I’d point it straight up at the sky and shoot heaven on down for you."
STELLARbabe

Sublime Lyrics, Scrap


"The one factor that makes this piece a scrap is the fact that not all of the lyrics are seen. My scanner is too small…This took about an hour to complete. I really enjoyed making this piece and I still enjoy looking at it!"
STELLARbabe

“Machine Head”

“Petrucci”
Petrucci by omenofthedeep

“Akerfeldt”
Akerfeldt by omenofthedeep

“These are really just a continuation of my study into Music in Art. The Vectors took me a long time, but the one of Machine Head was one that I used to do a painting. It came in very useful. I think the orange suited J Petrucci's amazing style, and I gave Akerfeldt a simple pencil sketch because it sums up his delicate tones [when he isn’t growling].”

“Stake My Heart”
Stake My Heart by juliatrotti

”This was influenced by my favourtite band My Chemical Romance, and probably my most favourite song of theirs, Vampires Will Never Hurt You. They are just simply amazing, so I had to create this as a tribute to their greatness!”
juliatrotti

“Slayer”
Slayer by juliatrotti

“Another amazing band I had to make a wallpaper for. This is for all the metal lovers out there :D
juliatrotti


</b>“Chibi AFI Colored”</b>
:thumb35287771:
“AFI has inspired me through their music because it has given me so much thought about life. To show my appreciation of them, I drew this picture of the band in chibi form (maybe next time I'll try to draw them more real-like). The hard part the I encountered while drawing this was trying to make the guitars look more detailed. I wish I was able to put more details on the other stuff, but then it'll come out tiny and you'll be unable to see it anyway. I think overall the picture came out pretty good. I have used this picture once for this AFI project and hopefully they got to see it. Enjoy this picture AFI fans, DFers, and everyone else (people who don't like AFI, but should look at the quality of the picture).”
crazytemari


“GOD Is In The RADIO”


“Garden Grove”


“There are a million things I can say about both Tool and Sublime, as well as the other bands showcased in my gallery… in one case, we have a walking, talking enigma that has already become quite a legend without actually stepping aside and allowing such event to occur. And then we have another band who was unfortunate enough to become a legend too soon. “Garden Grove” highlights certain lyrics that I chose to sum up the band - specifically Brad - but this piece is more about the band itself than the lyrics.”

”Harmonium”  
Harmonium by Justierox2

“Sad Song”
Sad Song by Justierox2

“Moonlight Sonata”
Moonlight Sonata by Justierox2

"Music is the universal language, everyone listens to it, everyone loves it. Not all people are into Art, maybe because they think they are "bad" at creating they don't pay much attention to it. Art is important though, it helps us express ourselves without having to rumage the backs of our minds for words to describe something. Art is what you create when you have no words to describe something. By portraying Music in an artistic piece, you are telling a story everyone can relate to. By looking at a piece based on music, one can hear the sounds coming off the page, canvas, or computer screen. Maybe by incorporating something that is so universal into art, we can bring more people to appreciate it and see art in a new light..." Justierox2


“Guitar”     
Guitar by omenofthedeep

“Violin”
Violin by omenofthedeep

“Acid Trip Extravaganza: Music”
Acid Trip Extravaganza: Music by omenofthedeep

"I love music to the point that it's fairly obvious that I'm obsessed. It influences everything; my conversations, my free time, - and more importantly - all of the creative work that I do. Even if that’s just being able to recall what I was listening to at the time, not necessarily the content itself. And of more recent, my lust for psychedelic art has grown; and the bright, vivid, and LOUD colours have started appearing everywhere!" – omenofthedeep


”The Ancient Miracle”
The Ancient Miracle by pisceanpainter
“This was inspired by the Rush song 2112.
Just a quick one.
11.5"x11.5"
Acrylic on foam board.” pisceanpainter


”Lonely Melbourne Nights”

Mature Content

Lonely Melbourne Nights by Antonina

“'Lonely Melbourne Nights' is a personal piece about moving away and living on my own. Listening to and learning how to play musical instruments (such as the guitar shown) not only provided artistic inspiration, but kept my sanity intact as well.” - Antonina


”Keyboard Avy”
Keyboard Avy by Giver

“Lord Beca’s Avy”

Lord Beca's Avy by Giver
“I made these avatars as a fun side project, and I really love how they turned out. I both wanted them to be as mesmerizing as I believe music is. The first I made for myself as my experiment, and the second I made for my friend, LordBeca. I especially love the heavy beat of a drum, so the congas and the headband tied around the drummer's head was very fun to make.” Giver


”The Who”
:thumb41263522:

“I took this photograph of myself as an intent to rpresent each member of the rock group known as The Who. The mic would represent vocalist Roger Daltrey; the guitar, guitar player Pete Townshend; the spider necklace on my hand, bass player John Entwistle; and the target blouse I'm wearing, drummer Keith Moon.” - Ukiby3000


”Rapsodias de Verano”
Rapsodias de verano. by faboarts

“Rapsodias de verano:
Una canción para Tí.
------------------------------
Summer rhapsodies:
A song for You.” faboarts


”Fender Squire”  


“Shirley”



“To me, music is something much more than just notes and rhythm. It can be so simple from something that gets stuck in your head to something that influences your thoughts and maybe even lives. Music has helped me learn and grow as an individual, as well as allow me to overcome serious obstacles that may have taken years longer to overcome otherwise. My hope is to allow everyone to understand the impact music has on individuals and realize how important it is to keep music alive in homes and schools!” STELLARbabe
