Porter Robinson's songs from his upcoming album, "Nurture".

« Look at the sky, I'm still here
I'll be alive next year I can make something good, oh Something good » This is "Look At The Sky", the first illustration of my project NURTURE🌱. Characters featured here are Jua the lioness and Caramella the fennec fox. Things may change in the blink of an eye, just like the shapes of clouds in the sky: storms may rage, but sun and rainbows always come right after, giving us hope and strenght to face all odds. This is what Jua is talking about with Caramella, while admiring a colorful and cloudy sky. |
« Sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging:
Calling for you to run those final few yards; You’re nearly there, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. It will all be OK in the end. » This is "Mirror", the second illustration of my project NURTURE🌱. Characters featured here are Laila Silverwolf (the wolf) and Jua (the lioness), and they represent two complementary sides of me. These girls are like the two sides of the same coin: whenever one is upset or sad for any reason, the other one always tries her best to cheer her friend up, reminding her that all those negative thoughts count nothing. We all need to learn and discover our worth and our beauty, because we deserve the World: we are full of love, passion and life... And, believe me: that colorful spark we have inside us matters so much. |
« Cause that's your role
The work that stirred your soul You can make for someone else » This is "Get Your Wish", the third illustration of my project NURTURE🌱. Character featured here is Mandarina the Amiatina donkey. She is a sunny gal, always willing to chat and laugh with her friends... But just a (very) few of them know about the deep wounds from her past. Mandarina learned to be strong all by herself, and she finally achieved happiness; that's why her main goal in life is to teach her loved ones the importance to always "keep swimming", against all odds. |
« Someone tell me
Something comforting » This is "Something Comforting", the fourth illustration of my project NURTURE🌱. Characters featured here are Laila Silverwolf (the wolf), Jua (the lioness), Mandarina (the Amiatina donkey) and Caramella (the fennec fox). Whenever I need to recover from bad thoughts or negativity in general, I immediately turn to art and music: life may be challenging, scary and difficult, and sometimes, the comfort you need may come from the most unexpected source, and mine, well... It's actually my own characters, these four girls in particular. I drew them sunbathing, trying to catch every single ray of sun, so they can transform it into happiness to give back to the viewer; never forget the importance to cherish each moment of joy, treasure it, and take all the inspiration and strenght you need from it whenever necessary. |
« But sincerely, Can't you feel what I'm feeling?
I can see my life so clearly, and I know it doesn't last, but I don't mind at all anymore » This is "Musician", the fifth and last illustration of my project NURTURE🌱. Character featured here is Laila Silverwolf the wolf. This song is a beautiful message to all creative people out there, and it says "we will make it through, we can do it". Porter is always amazing at surprising his fans, but this song in particular made me shout "WOW": the joy of creating something new can be found in every single word of the lyrics, and the spark of inspiration and happiness that lies inside the heart of an artist of any kind immediately becomes a huge and warm fire. So here she is, Laila: enjoying and cherishing every second of this delight, running towards the Sun, surrounded by gorgeous and fragrant lavender. |
