A visual interpretation of a song lyric, presented as a single-frame illustration.

The lyric comes from the song “Pink Rabbits” by The National. This idea has been floating in my head for a few years, actually, as so many lyrics by this band hold so much visual potential. Hopefully, this is the start of more to come.

There are two versions here:

  1. Final(ish) rendering in ink on paper.

  2. Shifted RGB channels for an added video glitch effect.
