When I run in the dark, Daniel, I dream of home

Bat for Lashes "Daniel" illustration by me; clare and the bear.
I absolutely love Bat for Lashes! 
Natasha Khan's voice is beautifully eerie and sits perfectly with her 
ethereal songs. I adore her style, she's a magical hippie with a huge 
essence of Peter Pan's Tiger Lily. Her quaint videos tell echoing 
stories with heart breaking lyrics to match. The music video for 
"Daniel" inspired me to draw. The haunting entities attired in black 
which are tormenting Khan reminded me of the evil dress from 
"Legend" where it seduces the princess into darkness, and also 
reminded me of Gareth Pugh's early collections.
