Witches of Counterculture.

Witches of Counterculture is a series of digital paintings chronicling musical women of the 60’s and 70’s. Each musician has touched on supernatural elements with their music. Every portrait is accompanied by some of their song lyrics related to magic or psychedelia. This is a passion project I developed while experimenting with Photoshop brushes.

Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon

Buffy Sainte-Marie.

“God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot”

Magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm
It rests in an empty palm

Nancy Sinatra.

“Some Velvet Morning”

Learn from us very much,
Look at us but do not touch,
Phaedra is my name

“Dreams”

Well, I believe in magic,
and I still believe in dreams
