Common is Chicago. Chicago is Common.
I was approached directly by Common to create an original piece of artwork for his Grammy-nominated 2007 album 'Finding Forever'—a piece that felt authentic to the music, to the city of Chicago, and embodied Common's compelling point of view of the world.
The artwork is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of visual storytelling in music. The process involved a deep understanding of the album's message and a dedication to creating a visual representation that would resonate with everyone. The result is a timeless piece of art that perfectly captures the essence of Common's music and message.
