My approach to constructing a sleeve has changed many times. Different techniques, styles, and visual combinations of detail allow me to play with the process endlessly. Here are some examples from past years.

There’s a beautiful, quiet place I know. Nothing is missing there, and nothing is too much. It’s peaceful and safe- it always feels like home to me. The door is open, and when I enter, all my worries stay behind.

Where can one find faith in a world of ‘ten thousand things’?
“Go to the place where faith is the only fuel available,” said a gentle voice in my heart.
And I did- only to discover that the source guiding me there was the same one offering the answer all along.

Have you ever experienced a hypnagogic hallucination? That half-asleep state where vivid images appear directly in the mind. This time, I caught one in my sketchbook.

Still working on this short poem, and I know it’s a bit dry-ish, but thought I’ll share it anyway.

I like Bluesky’s idea of decentralization and someday moving accounts across networks. But for now, I’m not sure what it’s really good for. The 300-character limit is tough, only 4 image uploads, and video support isn’t great. Am I missing something?
Could we have longer text option?

Did this sleeve 6-7 years ago and it still one of my favorites. A combination of samurai and geometric patterns gives it power!

“Newborn”
Rising..
generations of blood bathing..
suppression of consciousness,
hopes for better tomorrow..
Are we still crawling in darkness?..
Rising..
A man.. a woman..
is there a soul in that body?..
is it all we ever wanted?

Is it left,
or is it right..
Must we always take a side?
For example-
Full and Empty..
could be interpreted plenty!
Room.. a glass ..a space, or page
Are they like an empty stage?..
Even EMPTY- word at hand,
Full with Letters in the end.

‘A distant memory’
Do you remember,
Do you recall..?
This feeling within you important of all.
Like something is sitting
deep down inside,
And seeking the pathway
to shine itself bright.
A whisper that saying:
‘Ignore me do not,
Let it flow out,
unfasten this knot!’
