Anyone here do album art, or worked with someone rad

Post by goroth »

My band has a new album and we're looking to commission some rad art for it.

This was the art for our EP Image

We're not necessarily looking for the same style at all, but yeah.
Album will be called Frozen Wastes and the art should somehow reflect that, and have a feeling of enormity. Plus 8% outer space.

Hit me up if this is your thing, or if you've worked with someone you thought was pretty awesome.

But why not 80% space?

Depends on what you're after but a good friend of mine does some really nice minimalistic stuff. He did a T-shirt design for my band a few years back and has done work for several bands over the years. He's murderofmen on instagram iirc. Have a look and see what you think.

my girlfriend does lots of different design stuff and has done album art before

a guy i play with does stuff with analog collages and old school printing/lettering - he's done a few music covers over the years one - two - three for example

another guy who's a bit of a local legend does all the posters for this one promoter. his stuff is incredible, we've bought a few of his prints

My friend Daniel is an illustrator of some reknown, but last I checked he still priced according to relative scope of the project. His page is here: http://www.tinymediaempire.com/

Rad! But tbh I'm not sure we're in his league :)

He's definitely a busy dude, getting all kinds of work from bigger bands and movie studios, but I encourage you to give him a shot. He played guitar in Pyramids with me for a while, and his background is in small bands and obscure pedals. I'm honestly kinda surprised he doesn't post here, because it's very much his scene, and--again--last I checked he priced on a sliding scale based on whether or not the project was being bank-rolled by a small band, a big band, a small label, a big label, a small movie studio, a big movie studio, etc. He may well be too busy to take on a project on the lower end of that scale right now, but it couldn't hurt to get in touch. He's a really genuine guy.

Danger is a talented dude, I have some records illustrated by him. But I would be confused if he did your cover and you're not a screamo band. Plus he's in the US and I'm sure you could find someone closer. I know some Swedish artists but I don't think their style would fit tbh. I won't recommend myself because I'm notoriously slow and depressed.

Didn't he do stuff for Pinback? And Fall-Out Boy? I think he's branched out a bunch.

Yeah he's very prolific and the style is so versatile but distinct. I just mostly think of his work for The Saddest Landscape (/We Were Skeletons split), Corn on Macabre, Daytrader and ...Who Calls so Loud?
