Chick Corea
Day 38
#23 – Armando Anthony ‘Chick’ Corea (b.1941). American jazz pianist, keyboardist and composer. Recordings include: Spain (1971) the albums Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (1968) and Return to Forever (1972).
I started sketching trying to combine piano and Chick Corea. The two ‘Cs’ were unusual so they became a starting point. Being such a good pianist, making the keyboard into a ‘C’ seemed a good idea and worked well. It also referenced his band ‘Circle’ formed in 1970/71 and his band ‘Return to Forever’. The bright yellow background and red caption helped reference his Spanish and Italian descent.
