The Be More Kind artwork is inspired by human connections - represented by a single, simple, unwavering line. Ben Rix, the illustrator behind the imagery, commented:
"I had the idea by setting my self the task of trying to find a way of representing our connection to one another through a simple visual component, which I decided was a single line. Each illustration should be drawn by not lifting the pencil off the page, drawn in one go, and if it wasn't right, I would start again.
The single line simply connects A - B, you and I or even going full circle. I felt this direction would really compliment the ideas behind Frank's music. Emphasise the notion of "being more kind', to highlight the fact that we are all connected to one another in some way and we should recognise this by being a little bit nicer to each other."
In line with this concept, I'd like to create a single line drawing that spans the world. Simply hit start below to add your drawing to the global Be More Kind tapestry. I will be incorporating some of these into the visuals at my live shows and will also choose five submissions at random to receive a personal illustration from myself (I can't draw btw...) and signed boxset!
