Velum Break — Please Take Care of Me
Artwork for a limited edition 12" picture disc and CD on Touched Revolutions.
This is the second Velum Break release I've done the artwork for – the first being Bench Manoeuvres in 2019. Richard is great to work with and he likes his sleeve art to be a bit tongue in cheek or humorous. He had the idea to make the picture disc garishly fluffy and also suggested drawing the synth on the A side to make it different to the previous TR release treatments.
Artificially coloured fur covers most of the A side with holes for the logos and naively drawn synth. I made the fur obviously fake and cheap looking to fit in with Richard's initial ideas. To further add to the concept, I introduced some rough textures to the background, making it appear unloved and neglected. That fitted the theme quite well and is a nice contrast to the fluffiness.
On the B side I switched the elements around – covering the title in fur and adding some drawn hands in the same style as the synth that are gently cradling (taking care of?) the furry typography.
