Photo-Illustration for The Hard Times

Illustrations created for The Hard Times, "the most talked about, shared, and recognizable underground music satire site on the internet" — averaging 2.3 million unique users, 3.4 million views, and 60 million impressions on social media per month. The selected images in this gallery, presented as they appear on The Hard Times' Instagram account, were constructed from a combination of my own photographs, digitally-produced elements, and stock photos. Each illustration is composed of numerous individual pieces and heavily embellished by hand in Photoshop.
