Joji’s Sanctuary, a Tribute
Pencil drawing colored in Photoshop, August 2019
Joji’s Sanctuary is, melodically and lyrically, an amazing song. His video for the song tells the story of a space crew that have lost their drive and the one crew member who takes drastic steps to stir his best friend out of an ennui-dominated depression. As a fan of older movies with hokey special effects and a lot of heart, the video’s aesthetic as well as Joji’s soulful lyrics and increasingly gifted voice spoke to me so deeply I was moved to pay tribute to it all. Being so moved also led me to try to portray a person in a less stylized way.
