“The voice of Rilo Kiley’s lead singer, Jenny Lewis, reminds me of something really pure. Something honest, even naive, like adolescence, or nature, or old photographs… in this poster I was trying to capture this feeling, so I totally went freestyle. I grabbed brush and ink and started painting. At first I was drawing birds and my old knitted scarf, then I wanted to draw myself covered in leaves. I didn’t really like how it looked, but I liked the idea: a girl turning into a tree. People always tell me it looks like she has a big afro. I have to explain that, actually, she’s a tree. At one point I wanted to fix the leaves so that people would stop telling me this but, you know, I realized that it was alright. I didn’t mind. So I left it as is.”
