A collage of images featuring Janis Joplin, and the original artwork and book by Courtney Lee Designs. Full caption below: “Today, we celebrate Janis Joplin on her birthday 💟 It feels like the perfect time to share more about her influence on my art; the raw power of her voice, her reflective lyrics, her transcendent impact on music across generations, her full yet extremely short-lived rollercoaster of a life. I’m so grateful that my grandparents raised me on her music. For years now, she has been a regular presence through my own workflow. My art embodies a love for vibrant colors and an unconventional style that she also brought to the counterculture movement of her own time. Her electric energy every time she grabbed a microphone was palpable. To bare my soul authentically, and follow in her steps by introducing beauty into a troubled world starved of community and creativity – that’s my goal. 🌈☮️ My most recent original works from 2025 directly inspired by Janis Joplin and her psychedelic custom-painted Porsche can be found in my shop and in my self-published art book "Rainbow Realm". ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 courtneyleedesigns.com “ Original portraits (2022 vs. 2025) of Janis Joplin featured in “Rainbow Realm”, an art book by Courtney Lee Designs.

“Golden Kanclers” (2026) by Courtney Lee Designs. A memorializing portrait of twin brothers Rock Star and Super Star. Full caption below: “Today is your birthday 💛 Another year quickly going by without you. It’s so hard to find the words for this perpetual emptiness. You both should still be here. You still had such big dreams and unfinished work to do. Life (and death) is so unfair.

Also includes photos of Courtney’s recent self-published art book titled “Rainbow Realm”, and a photo of she and Ahmed (Santagato Studios) together. Courtney gifted “Rainbow Realm” and multiple original custom artworks to each member of Santagato Studios on location at MSG in celebration of their final show on November 13th, 2025. Original caption below: “It’s been three weeks already since my husband and I got to see The Basement Yard‘s final show at Madison Square Garden, and I am still struggling to find the words for the flood of emotions we felt that entire day. It is an experience that we will never forget. I have the utmost love, gratitude, and respect for all of these wonderful people for chasing their dreams and helping me to continue believing in my own. What an incredible blessing to meet the legendary Ahmed that morning, and he is as pure and sweet and funny of a human being as you could ever imagine. Sharing my art with the Santagato Studios crew wouldn’t have been possible without him. ❤️ Much love and congratulations to ALL OF THEM for their incredible success! November 13th, 2025 ❤️”
