A concept that I’ve had knocking around for a while now. Rodolfo Biagi (1906 — 1969) was an Argentine pianist who was famous for his rhythmic, staccato style of tango music. This illustration was inspired by the feeling I get while dancing to his music, and the imagery of the song title “Esperame en el Cielo,” included below.
An alternate take, using pen and markers. In the end however, I decided it would be simpler to go with photoshop instead.
