John McCabe

Giraffe & Ten Gallon Hat, Original Painting

2020

Artist Comments
Artist John McCabe paints three anthropomorphic animals and a man in a sizable ten-gallon hat. His concept revolves around the classic band photo shoot with a playful roster of members. The lineup happens to have a giraffe as a bass player, a pig playing rhythm guitar, and a cow on drums. "This later served as a show poster for a performance by our band, Good at Rockets, at the Orange County Fair's Meadows Stage," shares John.

About the Artist
Artist John McCabe produces graphic illustrations that take a progressive spin on pop art. He typically takes influence from his music to create vibrant caricatures of people, places, and things significant to the industry. Growing up, one of the highlights for John when buying music is the artwork on the packages. Inspired by that, he created art for his first EP, and every subsequent release includes artwork for each single, plus a front and back cover for the record. "The pieces are normally tied or related to the lyrics of a particular song," shares John. "In the case where I have made a series structured around music, a unique narrative unfolds within each." As imaginative as he is, John usually paints from the island surface of his kitchen or the dining room table. His music studio also doubles as a work area where he does pre-sketches. John has had several profiles from VoyageLA, Shoutout LA, and Queen City Arts and Sounds. His record label has featured his works along with his eclectic music releases.
