2Posters and Prints

Photographs over dot-matrix grids, and radial color studies built from pattern.

3Four Records

Every sleeve had to read at vinyl size and survive as a thumbnail.

Folk, pop, ambient and a DJ, so nothing carries over from one sleeve to the next.

Woodgrain collage and halftone geometry for the folk record. Grunge compositing and hand-drawn type for the pop artist. Linework landscapes stacked into depth for the ambient release. A saturated portrait for the DJ, where the color carries the whole thing.
