Chris Buzelli illustrates Radiohead's new album for Rolling Stone magazine

From Chris' blog on Drawger

By Chris

"A few weeks ago, I got a rush call from Steven Charney to illustrate Radiohead's new album "The King of Limbs" for Rolling Stone magazine. The album takes its name from a 1,000 year old tree in Wiltshire, England's Savernake Forest. I was really excited to work with Steven again and to illustrate for such an iconic band. I listened to their new album while I painted and hopefully some of their haunting yet beautiful music snuck into this piece."
