This month I ended up going with more of a concept than a full on illustration. I thought it'd be interesting to see how the lyrics of the song worked when read backwards. Technically it was the lines of the song in reverse order as opposed to every word. That would have been weirder and even less likely to work. What I found when I did this though was arguably a more haunting story desolate was revealed. There is the odd line that doesn't make sense but all things considered think it was quite an interesting result.
Sticking to my own limitations (the darker areas are just the green multiplied over more green) I then set the lyrics out in quite a generic font to help with making the type bland and lifeless. The original opening line that now became the finale struck me as quite dark and Reginald Perrin alike. This inspired me to add the abandoned shoes as a wee nod to that thought.
