A Selection of Album Cover Design
Erased Tapes Records Hatis Noit | Aura I designed the album cover artwork and a Limited Dinked Edition Album poster for Hatis Noit’s second album, 'Aura.' The inspiration for this artwork stems from the concepts of the German philosopher Walter Benjamin. He used the term 'Aura' to describe the fundamental essence of art, emphasizing its strength in its original form, occurring uniquely and only once.

The title ‘Persona’ was inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s film of the same name, specifically a shot in the opening credits of a child reaching out to touch a woman’s face on a screen, which is shifting between one face and another. This powerful image struck Ryan and it inspired the album’s main theme — an exploration of the persona, the difference between how we see ourselves and how others see us, the spaces in between; between states, people, light and dark, the inner persona and the outer persona…

Sinemis | DUA
I created the cover artwork and designed the album DUA. While the artwork celebrates the spiritual essence of the album, it does so with a playful expression.
Akira Records
Zola Blood | Two Hearts
I designed a digital album cover for the Two Hearts EP, drawing inspiration from the Japanese Kintsugi Method. Reflecting a philosophical approach, it views breakage and repair as integral parts of an object's history, rather than elements to conceal.
