MCR Lyrics & Flowers
Here are the last four floral lyric pieces that I’ve done, this time taking a lyric from each MCR album and pairing it with a flower with a similar meaning. Like all of the previous pieces (links to those posts below) these are also done with ink on a 2.5x2.5 inch canvas. Quick fun fact: I only added MCR to this project because my friend suggested it, and at the time I didn’t even listen to them. Now here I am a little over a year later finally done with this project and still a disappointment to my parents.
Before I get into my thoughts on each of the pieces I’m going to ramble on about what I did differently with these ones and why. Firstly I wanted more asymmetry with the flower borders so I kept the flowers to a bit more of a minimum and had them roughly in the same placement piece to piece to keep them connected a bit more. Secondly I decided to add some extra petals and flower buds to change things up slightly and have these four pieces stand out a bit more compared to all the other pieces.
Tumblr media
“Stand up, fucking tall, Don't let them see your back”, Our Lady of Sorrows, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. This lyric is paired with buttercups to represent confidence.
The finished flowers on this one kind of bug me because at the time my brush was splitting and I decided to use it at awkward angles and get thicker lines instead of just fixing it right away. While I do like that it provides a bit of contrast between the flowers and the petals I find it makes the flowers kind of blend in with the text more. Because of the small scale I was working on there isn’t much wiggle room for line thickness to provide contrast between the text and flowers so I prefer to have thinner lines on the flowers to make the text stand out more.
Tumblr media
“I’m taking back the life you stole”, It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Fucking Deathwish, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Paired with delphinium to represent courage.
I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this one. In total I’ve completed 22 pieces and I still don’t know how to visually balance flowers that are basically just stacks of flowers.  Looking back on it now I think I should have put less stems(stalks?) of flowers and put more individual flowers instead. It probably would have made things a bit easier to balance.
Tumblr media
“I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars”, Welcome to the Black Parade, The Black Parade. Paired alongside gladiolus to represent strength of character.
For more stacks of flowers I do think this one is a bit more visually balanced than the previous piece. I’m not sure why, it may be because the stalks of flowers aren’t as dense as delphinium. I did like painting these flowers, and besides that there isn’t anything else I have to say about this piece.
Tumblr media
“Ain't nobody gonna take my life, Ain't nobody gonna get the best of me”, Party Poison, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.  Paired with daisy representing inner strength.
This one, out of all 22 pieces, is my absolute favourite. I love how the daisies turned out and the symmetry with the text. This was actually the first piece out of these four that I decided to add extra petals and buds to the border and I’m so glad I did because I love how it turned out. There are a few parts where my lines got a bit shaky, but I do like how I can see the growth between this one and the very first piece I did.

And with these four pieces, I am done with this project. While I do have some more of these small canvases I can’t find them in stores anymore and I want to do something different with my remaining ones.
Like I said at the beginning of my post I have done previous pieces like this with FOB, Panic!, and TOP so I’ll leave the links to those posts here.
