I reunited with @therollingstones for the bands ‘Angry’ music video starring Sydney Sweeney cruising down the Sunset Strip; the Rolling Stones’ first new music in 18 years.
Before the music video era, there was a rock billboard scene on Sunset Blvd. Circa 1967, a few independent minds in the music industry posted giant, temporary monuments to rock icons that said it all. Billboards. Larger than life. Hand-painted homages that would chronicle rock forever. And it goes without saying that the Rolling Stones had theirs.
These style of billboards have almost all disappeared today, giving way to screens. But the locations haven't changed and my idea was to put the Stones back on the Strip performing ‘Angry’ through the decades.
I designed all 109 billboards inspired by the Stones’ visuals throughout their career and editor Dom Leung and I sifted through decades of archive footage until present day to showcase the dynamic performances of @mickjagger@officalkeef@ronniewood and the late Charlie Watts.
