N’we Jinan Records got in touch to create a cover and various promotional assets for Siibii‘s single “Nightmare”. They supplied the image below along with a link to the song’s music video for inspiration. To tie the image in with the feel of the song, I felt it needed to have a darker, grungier look […]

NHale – Best In Me
NHale, son of the legendary Nate Dogg released his “Prince of the Westside” album in early September 2022. The first track on the release, “Best In Me” really caught my attention as a dedication to his father, stories of growing up and sampling “Nobody Does It Better”, one of many iconic songs from Nate Dogg’s […]
Mattmac – Blurred Visions
For Mattmac’s second album, his music would talk about growing up on the ‘Rez’ (reservation) in Manitoba, Canada… smoking, money and girls. I was sent a few images to work with and decided to go with a scratched, old photo/negatives type look, for the front cover blending images of Mattmac in his bedroom and in […]
N’we Jinan Artists – Rebellion
As part of the N’we Jinan / InPath programme who help native Canadian youth in the arts, I was commissioned to create artwork for “Rebellion”, a song written and performed by a group of students from the Kitigan Zibi Kikinamadinan School, in Kitigan Zibi, Quebec. Supplied with the above image, I sought to give the […]
Mattmac – 20/20
Blind music producer and recording artist Mattmac has harnessed his melodic pop-trap beats and inspiring story, quickly establishing himself as ‘one to watch’ on the Canadian national scene with his debut album, 20/20. Mattmac’s premiere release features poppy vocals combined with hard-hitting trap beats, and thoughtfully honest lyrics that give listeners a glimpse into the […]
NorthStars – Nightmares
For their sophomore set and follow up to their debut album, “Dreams” The NorthStars looked to explore the darker, other end of the sonic spectrum with “Nightmares”. I was commissioned to put a new spin on their previous album cover, giving it a hellish makeover to convey the angst and torment of their latest subject […]
Mariame – Bloom
Mariame was one of the first Cree artists signed to N’we Jinan Records. The label reached out for me to create Mariame’s debut album artwork and promotional marketing material for her first official release. The project included not only the hard copy album artwork as seen above, but various other marketing collateral promoting the release […]
NorthStars – Dreams
I was commissioned to create the artwork for The NorthStars’ debut album, “Dreams” with their vision for the front cover to feature an image of the ‘dream tree’. I assume the tree holds important symbolism, meaning and stories within the First Nations Cree culture… and it was a nice, serene image to work with to […]
SRH – Broke & Happy
The aspiring Canadian rapper, singer and musician SRH (now known as Benny Mayne), had a painting created by the super talented Gena Milanesi whilst on a tour of LA, and wanted to use this as the main artwork for his next release, ‘Broke And Happy’. I was asked to use the painting and create a […]
Ron Aven – Party With Me
Created for Ron Aven and his iTunes single, “Party With Me” which features Hurricane Chris. The single would also be produced as a limited-run promotional CD. Ron and his manager were looking for a 90’s style, vibrant summer feel for this cover to mirror the track. I created several versions along this theme, and this […]
