“Music Corona” was inspired by World Entertainment News Network (WENN) photo of Lukas Rossi, an image pointed out to me by blip and twitter user, Alchey.
“The emotion & power exploding out of Lukas Rossi while he sings is clear.” tweets Alchey on Feb. 8, 2010. “I have never see an artist bare his soul on stage like Lukas Rossi does! You feel everything he is going through while he sings!”
The energy described by Alchey reminded me of Jan. 15, 2010 annular solar eclipse that lasted 11 minutes and almost 8 seconds, an unforgettable corona image quickly etched in our individual and collective memories.
mel –
I loved reading your comments about Lukas. “The heart of the man is clear” is so true. From the animal rescue he runs with his wife Kendra, to his charity work and NOH8 support, to seeing him work with kids with rare illnesses or inspiring young minds at his old music school, Lukas emanates love into all he touches, not the least of which is his music.
I am a blip.fm DJ, same name as I used here, and you have been nice enough to retweet some of my Lukas blips. Thank you for the gorgeous art and for helping to bring more people to Lukas’ music.

“It isn’t so much the number of his fans, it is the quality of his work as a human and a performer that I consider him among the most successful people that I know.”

Thank you again, Mel for this amazing artwork! The words on your last post and reading all my friends words have me in tears! These people, including Lukas, has become like family to me! And you too I have grabbed on to as a family member.. that is if you will have us! 😉
Love you guys! xo
Thanks for creating and posting this beautiful artwork. 🙂 Lukas possesses the heat, light, energy & warmth of the sun when he explodes onto the stage during his riveting performances. He often reminds me of the Tibetan monks that are possessed by the spirits of their gods during sacred rituals and can dance & spin in costumes that weigh up to 400 pounds… only Lukas is possessed by music and becomes a living incarnation of the passion and emotions he shares with his entire audience when he performs on stage. 🙂 Lukas is a bright presence–like the sun–and his music is compassionate, healing, beneficial and illuminating. 🙂
Thank you all for your wonderful comments about the art work. I can feel all your love for Lukas Rossi. He is truly blessed to have fans such as you. As a blip DJ (musicla), I very much enjoy playing Rossi tracks; a process made all the more enjoyable by sharing the experience with other DJs, particularly Alchey.
If you are a blip DJ, make yourself known to me.
The heart of Rossi shows through many stories of compassion and caring that he has shown for others. From the NoHate campaign to the support that he offers when he sees others struggle:
… “It is very easy to ignore a dove with a wounded wing in a flock of soaring eagles” Rossi says in his website Feb. 2009 blog as he publicly offers support to JD.
The heart of the man is clear. By appreciating and accepting love, we all can soar. Rossi’s story I believe is a powerful one. (I would love to publish his book where he reveals his inspirations and his “steps to success”. It isn’t so much the number of his fans, it is the quality of his work as a human and a performer that I consider him among the most successful people that I know.)
Please be patient if you add a comment here. I manually approve comments as I am too aware of how spam wounds content. I will respond in as timely a fashion as I can.
I am proud to support Rossi and Rossi fans. To all fans, I’d like to say that what we say is very much a reflection of ourselves. If you see beauty and passion, it is very likely that beauty and passion is a part of you. This is as true with art and writing as it is with music.

This artwork is soooo beautiful! I have to agree whole heartedly, Alchey’s words ring true! I have had the pleasure and honor to see Lukas Rossi perform live a few times and a blessed opportunity to meet him in person at all the shows I attended…..he is simply amazing! A heart and soul of a true angel. The power in the lyrics he creates and the emotion you feel when he performs leaves you utterly breathless!
If you haven’t had a chance to hear his music or see him perform live, I highly recommend you do it! You don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve seen it for yourself! Phenomonal….an experience you’ll remember forever!!
I love this image! Alchey’s description describes the beauty and inspiration I too feel when I am blessed enough to see Lukas Rossi perform live, and the elusive magic that is an eclipse is such a wonderful analogy for that experience.
This is soooooo incredible!!!
I’m blown away. Seriously.
Lukas is going to LOVE it! His fans are going to LOVE it!!
I’ve never met/seen Lukas play live, but I feel what Alchey is describing. Like she said, you feel it through vids, pics, listening to his voice. There is just something about this guy. Something powerful. Something…awesome. Something that reaches right out and grabs your soul and won’t let go. You’ve captured that in this pic.
Thank you so much.
I’m stunned! I’m overwhellemed! How you took my words and made a picture so beauitful and so perfectly suited to bring to life just what Lukas Rossi is on stage has me near tears!
And that it reminded you of a solar eclipse describes Lukas so well! On stage or just listening to his voice through my ipod, he is almost to bright.. too soul touching.. too powerful to look at fully and yet you can’t take your eyes from him when he sings and bares all he has for his fans!
Just the struggle to stay standing and remembering to breath is usually the only thing I can accomplish when he is on stage!
This art you did fits just what I feel… what everyone feels when lucky enough to witness, to be touched with the magic that is Lukas Rossi!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Love you! xoxo
