Somewhere, Someone
05–04–2024
Design and illustration for Matt Holubowski’s EP Somewhere, Someone.
Brief: Design an album that represents the bloom after the death of nature, when spring has sprout. A response to the prevrious album Like Flowers on a Molten Lawn.
Concept: Papaver californicum
« The fire poppy belongs to a group of plants known as fire followers: those that use the heat, smoke or charred soil as signals to sprout. Their seeds lie dormant for years, explains Marti Witter, a wildfire ecologist for the Santa Monica Mountains national recreation area. Then when the fire hits, it sends a message to begin germination. For fire poppies, the signal comes from smoke. For other fire tollowers, the heat of a blaze can crack open the hard coating on a seed. »

1969 album
08–19–2021
Design and illustration for 1969 album collective.
Twelve artists, including Ariane Moffatt, Half Moon Run, Safia Nolin, Les sœurs Boulay, Elliot Maginot and Elisapie have joined forces on the project 1969, paying homage to the music of the late 60s and helmed by director Connor Seidel. The album offers 13 original songs, all inspired by the style and arrangements of the late 60s.
Brief: Design an album that represents a very different subset of artists and nods to the 1969 aesthetic.
Concept: Based on the risography ink palette, each color (and shape) represents an artist or a song in the collective.

︎ Année: 2023
A. Le mur d’un bâtiment à l’architecture brutaliste signé Daniel Lazowski marqué par les lignes et la grille.
B. Deux lampadaires (la lumière du bas centrée et ronde puis celle de gauche perchée bien haut pour illuminer en soirée) encadrent ces douze tableaux de lumières.
C. L’espace comme faire-valoir ou inversement : l’œuvre comme une réponse au lieu.
« On a laissé quelques lumière allumées » partage dans un écrin de chaleur et de douceur intimiste, la lumière que crée la lampe qu’on allume pour lire avant de s’endormir ; celle qu’on ajoute au-devant de la maison pour illuminer l’entrée ; le plafonnier tamisé du souper ou bien la lune en veilleuse la nuit tombée.
