Rock N Roll Art

When the music becomes visual.

Rock 'n' Roll Art is about capturing the energy, attitude and rawness of rock music through illustration. From iconic album covers to psychedelic concert posters and tattoo-inspired band merch – the visual expression of rock is as powerful as the music itself.

The visual language of rock

Illustration in rock N roll art is often characterized by strong contrasts, bold lines and a raw, untamed aesthetic. The DIY style of punk and metal with hand-drawn fanzines and collage art contrasts with the detailed and surreal universe of prog rock.

Characteristics of Rock n Roll Illustrations

Dramatic colors and strong contrasts – often inspired by light and shadow from stage shows. Iconic symbols – skulls, guitars, flames, angels and demons are recurring motifs. Typography with attitude – hand-drawn, raw letters give a raw and heartfelt style. Movement and energy – lines and colors create a feeling of sound and intensity.

From posters to digital art
From the psychedelic posters for 60s festivals, to modern digital illustrations, Rock n Roll Art is still evolving. Artists use both traditional drawing tools and digital techniques to create unique expressions inspired by the rebellious soul of rock.
