Broken Records

The artwork is a vibrant and abstract illustration of a musician playing a stringed instrument, likely a guitar. The musician is depicted in a dark blue suit with a red tie.
The face is rendered in a fragmented, cubist style with various shades of blue and purple, and the hands are detailed, one of which is actively plucking at the guitar strings.

The background is a deep blue with hints of other colors, such as yellow and white, around the musician, adding a dynamic and expressive feel to the piece.
The use of bold brushstrokes and contrasting colors creates a sense of movement and energy in the artwork.

Lionel Thomas bent the neck of the guitar to fit in this composition. Two heads talking to each other, the strings disappearing. He cut the unnecessary distraction so the
viewer could focus on the player. "I chose blue because it's my favorite color. And I like this tie, too."

The left hand becomes alive and animated, with the instrument colors running like lava into its groove. It's a broken record.
