December Wallpaper: Yellow Heart
We are finally in the last month of the year. The most important day in December is with no doubt Christmas day! Though apart from that December is also the birth month of my favorite rock star, Matsumoto Hideto, (better known by his stage name “hide” (all lower cases)) who was the former and now deceased lead guitarist of popular Japanese Rock band X JAPAN. On 13th December is when should have been his 44th birthday. I have always wanted to do a piece with this idea and I think this is the right time. I am dedicating this to him.
My inspiration mainly came from the style of his signature guitar model, which was also called “Yellow Heart” (see picture).
