I think at this point even you know I won’t be done drawing any of these K-pop idols anytime soon. As the kids say, their “face cards” are insane, and I think I’d be insane to not put pen to mat board for them. Anyway, here’s another Hyunjin drawing in celebration of Stray Kids’ upcoming new mini album coming out in July.

Concert Review – Taking Back Sunday
I think after the great success of the When We Were Young Festival last year, I was all in for any emo concert swinging through even remotely close to my hometown. Cut to summertime and I had my reservations about seeing Taking Back Sunday for the first time in years.
Read moreWallows – Model, Album Review
With all of these bands that I love releasing albums practically back to back recently, the fact that Wallows dropped their third full length album, Model, last week with basically no promotion came as quite a surprise to me. A pleasant one, but still. Even though I follow them on social media, I must not be in the know enough for eavesdropping advertising or just straight up fan posts to fall through the cracks and into my feeds.
Read moreATEEZ – Golden Hour: Part 1, Mini Album Review
In my limited world of K-pop, I might have fallen for ATEEZ last, but I definitely fell for them the hardest. A lot of that might have to do with how accessible they still seem to fans despite their rising fame, but they also have a ton of great songs!

I know it’s only been a short time since I posted these drawings, but I can’t draw them fast enough! With the release of their latest mini album last week, Golden Hour, ATEEZ have been almost everywhere I look. And I thank all the other Atiny out there for being more obsessed than me and keeping me in the loop. I promise I’ll have something new next week, but I cannot promise it won’t be K-pop related. So sue me!
Read moretwenty one pilots – Clancy, Album Review
I’m going to be totally honest here, Scaled and Icy was a huge letdown of an album for me from a band that hadn’t disappointed prior. Of course that means I was going to walk into Clancy with a bit of trepidation. But I was a fool for thinking that way! Twenty One Pilots have rounded out this era with certified hits.

For putting out a banger of a new album, here’s a throwback to a drawing of the duo from the Blurryface days.
Read moreCage the Elephant – Neon Pill, Album Review
It’s absolutely bonkers to me that it’s been five years since Cage the Elephant released Social Cues, one of my favorite records from that year, but we’ve finally been given new music with the likes of Neon Pill. And a tour!

My obsession with Ateez isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so here’s a new drawing of the group’s leader (and my personal favorite), Kim Hongjoong.
Read moreThe Black Keys – Ohio Players, Album Review
Even though The Black Keys are one of Ohio’s most celebrated bands, I’ve never really given a lot of their work much attention. The fact that I’m still thinking about Let’s Rock when they’ve released three albums since then means I don’t really keep up. But, in searching the internet for 2024 musical releases, I was pretty pleased to see their newest work was to be titled Ohio Players and knew I would be checking it out.
