The series includes [drawings of contemporary artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations) and acts such as Lorde, Daft Punk, Gotye and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Bora chose artists within the current music scene; specifically, she chose artists whose music speaks to a generation. The collection is intended to celebrate the [extraordinary contributions the artists have made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-jam) to the current industry, but Bora also considered how each act corresponds or relates to the history and evolution of music. Bora's collection is made up of more than just [pretty portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions). It's a thoughtful body of work that considers, and captures, the essence of each artist in a way that's both innovative and beautiful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Illustrative Portraits:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating dynamic and innovative illustrations of various subjects beyond musicians. - **Celebrating Artists:** Opportunity to celebrate and showcase the contributions of artists from different fields through artistic collections. - **Exploring Music History:** Opportunity to create collections that explore the history and evolution of music through artistic interpretations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating dynamic and innovative illustrations across different art forms. - **Music and Entertainment:** Opportunity to celebrate and promote artists' contributions through artistic collaborations and collections. - **Cultural Preservation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in capturing the essence of historical and contemporary figures through art, preserving their impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Auditory Artwork Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece.md) - [Artistic Apparel Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-kenshi-yonezu.md) - [Modern Digital Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuneshine.md) - [Instrument-Inspired Wall Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-collection-by-sara-schoenberger.md) - [Collector Tote Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryuichi-sakamoto-potr.md) - [Music-Inspired Avatar Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-yourself-in-sound.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md)
