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 […]
Music
Hazely – Feel Free
Hazel Waskewitch aka Hazely is an R&B powerhouse vocalist fusing acoustic pop melodies and hooks with traditional Indigenous Round Dance songs. She is a member of the Onion Lake Cree Nation, Saskatchewan & Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation, Alberta. I designed a couple of variations of the cover for her debut single, Feel Free. It’s also […]
N’we Jinan Festival 2016
The Cree Nation of Mistissini hosted the first ever N’we Jinan Festival in 2016, bringing together various First Nations communities for a celebration of culture, music and creativity. Tasked with creating something of an event brand, I started by taking the N’we Jinan logo I had originally designed and gave it a festival update, with […]
Ron Aven – Turn It Up
Here’s artwork for Ron Aven and his track “Turn It Up” featuring Emdee and Rkayde. It’s an R&B/Hip-Hop/Club track, so my job was to reflect that in the artwork. I was supplied with the below image of the artists and was requested to bring a club party vibe to the scene. I downloaded various royalty […]
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 […]
Stefanie Parnell – Mountains Beyond Mountains
Stefanie approached me to put together the artwork for her 2014 release, ‘Mountains Beyond Mountains’. A stellar fusion of soft-rock, indie-acoustic and country music. My life was made easier with some great photography by Félicité Roy, and artistic direction from Stefanie. The result was a complimentary mix of pensive and calming imagery and simple typography […]
SRH – S.U.E.
Designed for SRH’s digitally released EP, ‘Series of Unfortunate Events’. Each track is represented by an icon for that specific song which were released as singles until the EP was released in full. I opted for eye-catching colours, making use of the bright RGB spectrum as this EP was only released digitally online. S.U.E. is […]
