With this poster, I was inspired by the bandโs visuals and tour name to dive into familiar nautical themes, freezing the moment a skeletal surfer catches the attention of an emerging mermaid who may now be tempted to โstep into the sun,โ above. The background references the area (particularly the nearby Twin Points at Laguna Beach) while the foreground is comprised of a kelp forest populated by various corals, fishes and other assorted sea creatures found in the locale. Everything is tied together by the motion of the clouds above, the intermediate wave which displays the bandโs name while connecting the two worlds in the middle and the drift of the seaweed below. To me this illustration can be boiled down to the importance of holding space for curiosity towards others; a sentiment I find increasingly important to center and strive for.โ
