Made small painting based on the Arnold Newman photograph of Stravinsky at the piano, replaced with a silhouette profile of a cowboy. I liked this particular image, as it had an interesting framed/cropped geometry. The image of a cowboy (Average Joe) is a generic symbol representing freedom, self-reliance and rebellion. In this piece I am using it ironically, as cowboys are not typically classical musicians, or if they are, they are not great fans of Russian composers, or are simply effete. 

A new Songday based on it:

Silhouette Cowboy by meta4s

 

Then I ran it through DALL-E with the prompt "Silhouette of a cowboy on A SpaceX rocket"
