One of the great things about my relationship with Archetype Records is their willingness to trust me with the artwork associated with my music. Being a designer and an illustrator it would have been very hard to release the reigns and have some else design the artwork that may fail to meet my expectations and vision.
The artwork shown above will be the digital cover you will see should you download my first single when it is available. The single will precede the album and have approximately three songs that accompany it, that may or may not be on the full album.
I researched a lot of old rock 'n roll concert posters from the 60's and 70's before creating this cover. In the same way that I feel that not as much time and attention are put towards lyrics and songwriting in today's music, I feel that not as much focus is put on cd artwork as well. So by diving into all of these old posters I surrounded myself with the art that I felt like conveyed a message - even if you do not know at first what that message is - and even if that message is different to everyone that looks at it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this artwork, thanks in advance for any feedback.
You've got something that's unstoppable
Like a hurricane
Spinning lovers in your wake
