I draw performers, I draw live and I make animations. Me, a pen and a piece of paper; that’ll do.
He promised less crime. Guess it’s one of those Genie wish things.

The drawing was ink, but I had quickly digitally lettered it in Procreate at a pretty low res when I sent it as an offhand idea… which only goes to show, the toss offs are sometimes the gems.

So we had to use the photo I shot that day and it ended up being quite perfect.

A few months went by & I didn’t think about it again. One day I got a message from the label asking for a hi res version and I had no idea what they were talking about. They sent me that photo and I realized I had never scanned it before finishing the drawing and using it in the video.

Funny story about that cover. I was working on a drawing for the video and snapped a picture of it in process, sent it to Carl and offhandedly texted, “this would be a good cover”, he thumbed up the message and months went by when I didn’t think about it again.

First time I’ve ever live drawn a song I did the cover and video for.

Here’s a video for a song and it references the same jester influence…
