One last cover for @logic301. At some point you'll notice yourself standing in the hollow indents of footprints you've already made in a place familiar and loved yet distant as a dream. Hope you've learned what led you there. Now unravel, find peace, and ascend. No Pressure.

"go back to the basement, but everything feel different and distant". This was the least direction given for a cover between us over the years, but prob the most organic for both of us. Really just born out of convos about where he's at in life vs explicit art direction.

No Pressure back cover for Logic. Infinite oceans spill from each & every atom no matter how seemingly void. We dove endlessly into this 1 & you came with me each time I drowned. Grateful for your company, but once you're done here: rub the sleep from your eyes & get yours, baby.

I spent 10 months thinking: I'm too outside the space, too old, 3 paintings is a tiny output, I don't have a musical artist or brand to hide behind, no animation, too emo, too unrelatable, ugly monkey jpegs. But, I felt compelled, so I made them. And now the jpegs are real.

The original approved sketch for Logic's no pressure album cover. Took time to figure out how to unravel the scene I wanted to make but unlearning & relearning aspects of perspective/light/color to get there I genuinely enjoyed. Something I hadn't felt with painting for awhile.

Artwork I made for Logic's Ultra 85. Our final cover together. //. You are hunting for something hidden you've already found. This is the end. Prepare for the future that’s coming as best you can. This will be a brutal goodbye for some, but seize agency and a freedom can

Ultra 85 cover soon. No money changed hands. Though I’ve made most of @logic301 album art over the last decade, w the world of Luci I’ve built since, rather than another job, I proposed to him: an old world barter system. Art for art between artists of different mediums.

To get to see something you've put your whole self into out there in the world like this (especially with your people), is a gift. An undeniably special feeling.

Of all the dumb shit I put in the logic album covers I assumed no one would ever bother to find, making up this fake alphabet was easily my favorite/the dumbest so love you guys very much for taking the time to piece it together.

@gothamcityrap thank you, but bob backs the artwork more than almost any other musician in the industry, often by a wide margin.

Congrats to @Logic301 on the spectacular Ultra 85. Working on these covers together was the joy of my pre-Luci life in art. Heard many versions of this album over the years. End result is a pristine nostalgia-rama tour used to bare the burden of our myths and fight to grow.

While my earnest side is genuinely so appreciative of everyone saying such sweetie things about the cover. like every album release, the kindness only fills my heart so much. The rest I get from watching the beautiful psychodetectives decode everything. You are my fix. My favs🖤.

Gm, A year ago I gave my friend a JPEG I made that was worth nothing as a wedding gift. Yesterday it sold for 65 ETH (~$100k at the time). But there is more to the story that I can now share 🧵

"VIII. Infinite Ceremony". Underpainting vs Final. Beginning with these hot tones, gradually carving in light & shadow, then glazing in color: lets bits of what's underneath shine through the later layers to influence the earthen mud & reflected light as the sun bounces against

Bernie's campaign was special for many reasons, but fundamentally, when you boil all of his policies down to the core: it was the first and only serious presidential campaign in history that valued human life enough to not kill people for money.
