Album Artwork and Layout 2020
 The band approached me with a unique concept of having multiple art covers that would each be made into 7" vinyl releases. The extended piece would span 5 covers,  featuring two singles and a letter revealing the final name of their album. Vincent described his concept to me as "That feeling when you are going for a walk and it's all flowers, sun and birds and you come across a dead, decaying spot in the forest. I want the audience to feel that." I came up with the idea of incorporating slowly decaying sunflowers into the foreground, as the coniferous forest turns into a swampy wetland. The Acacia Strain has been a big influence on my music taste ever since I discovered their album Wormwood at my local library. Being able to bring their vision for this album to life was a dream come true. Not to mention being responsible for the entire design and execution of such a fresh and unique way of releasing music.

Dawn Of Corruption

Picture
Album Artwork and Layout 2020
Album artwork for down-tempo/deathcore group Distant's EP "Dawn of Corruption." The concept behind the artwork is a continuation of their "Tyrannotophia" storyline. Described by the band: “‘Dawn of Corruption’ is a dark descent into the depths of the conceptual world of Tyrannotophia. The kingdom is on the brink of falling and a new era is about to begin. From the darkness, all the wretched creatures are on a hunt for its crown." The composition was inspired by Singer Sargent's work, "Fumée d'ambre gris (Smoke of Ambergris)." I used a limited color palette to emphasize the golds and reds with high-key color values in the background to bring focus to the figure. The background will set the stage for the next chapter in "Tyrannotophia" and represents the falling kingdom.
