Flavorwire

Combining art and music, Sketch Theatre presents a frequently updated series of short, single-shot, time-lapse videos of artists drawing while digging the tunes that inspire them.

Artists including Brandi Milne, Syd Mead, Ron English, and Lola have all been filmed for the site, drawing along to their favorite songs — from Dirty Projectors, the Raconteurs, Daniel Johnston, and Holly Golightly, respectively. An eclectic and mesmerizing testament to the mysteries of inspiration and artistry, Sketch Theatre is also a treasury of killer sounds.
