ART – Ryan Mackett Creations

Each gallery below has a specific theme, and contains multiple images representing that theme. In some cases a theme is inspired by various songs from a particular musical artist; my process for those monthly themes involved creating a playlist of songs which would act as a daily artistic prompt to help influence the image. I may have taken inspiration from a song title, a lyric, or simply the mood and atmosphere conjured by the music itself.
