Whether you love visual arts, music or the art of writing, James Plakovic's work will delight you as it combines all of the above. Take, for example, the author's world map. Seeing her for the first time, you are unlikely to find something unusual in her. All continents are in place, their outlines are familiar and nothing new has been added. An image familiar to each of us since school days. But, looking more closely, you suddenly discover that the continents and oceans are dotted with thin lines and dots, which, upon closer examination, turn into notes, denoting, in turn, a really existing melody!
"Every land or continent can be written with notes," says James Plakovitz, the author of the unusual idea. He writes music and then creates pictures from music. Yes, yes, James's paintings are not a simple set of musical notes placed in one way or another, but a schematic recording of a melody that can be played. Moreover, these images are not limited only to geographical maps, including also portraits of famous people, symbols and simply interesting subjects.
To define his activities, the author even registered a separate concept - Music ™. This is a combination of music and art, in which the musical composition becomes a picture for the eyes and for the ears at the same time, being at the same time a visual image and a musical composition.
Music ™ images are created in two different formats - Manuscript and Original. In the first case, the paintings are printed on a computer, differ in accuracy and the sameness of musical notation, but are limited in color (black on white). Original artwork is hand-drawn and may be colored.
James Plakovitz lives in Texas (USA) with his wife and daughter. He has been creating musical films since 1990. More information about the author and his work is on the site.

Painted graffiti on painted walls. Creativity Jessica Hess (Jessica Hess)
Whatever one may say, and no matter how talented, original, unusual the graffiti on the walls, pillars and fences are, they still continue to be considered vandalism, hooliganism, albeit with the prefix "art", and from time to time they chase street art masters for damage public property.
