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 […]
Music
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 X Caid Jones – Run It
Here’s artwork I created for Mattmac’s single, Run It featuring Caid Jones. Their record label asked for creative with a black light / night glow / light streaks look to it using the supplied images below. I set about grabbing various royalty free textures and effects to give the impression of movement and to tie […]
Angel Baribeau – Wish We Were Older
For Angel Baribeau’s single, “Wish We Were Older” taken from her debut release “For Those I Love(d)” she asked for a retro look using neon, cyan-coloured typography across the artwork for the song and video promotion. I was supplied with an image of the defiant-looking Angel for the single cover, along with a still from […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
