I approached this illustration project with a more gestural,
colorful mindset in order to create a weird amalgamation
of handmade shapes. Embracing the folk roots of this album
led to including “imperfections” that coincide with the raw,
no fuss nature of the music. This decision manifested as crumbs
of pastels being present due to hand-drawing and scanning everything into the computer, as well as using a cold-pressed paper for the background of the illustrations.
Johnny Flynn is one of my all time favorite music artists, so remaking
one of his album covers was a daunting task. While developing a direction,
I felt I could capture the essence of his first album with folk-style illustrations,
so I hand drew and scanned in a myriad of shapes, animals, plants, and
other doodads.
