today and tomorrow, music saves

just a for-fun project for me to display a bunch of music memories i had rather than keeping them hidden away in a box somewhere.

version one [first gallery]: 18x24in, early 2024

years of concert tickets, autographed cd jackets, a few festival cruise ship key cards, and memories that will never fade.

after the background was down, i drew, cut out, and painted the lettering by hand [and yes, in hindsight, i wish i painted the paper first and then cut out the letters]. “today and tomorrow music saves” is a quote i had on a random tshirt years ago that i always liked. i don’t have that shirt anymore… so this was a way to let it live on.

version two [second gallery]: 16x24in, early 2026

took the original one apart and refined it all down to focusing on the one band that started it all. without this band, i likely wouldn’t have found many of the others that i love which inevitably shaped so many other aspects of my little world.

everything is connected and i’ve found that a lot of things still to this day lead back to discovering that silly little song as a kid in 1997 [you know the one]; having something——anything——that means this much to us is a true gift.
