New Artwork for my Music

I've been working a lot on the artwork for my music lately. I've created the artwork for a few albums and singles this week. The artwork for the singles displays on the Now Playing screen when you're using the Bandcamp app. Here are just a few of the pieces of art. All of the pieces from the Incessant Digging series use the same color palette.

The cover for the Incessant Digging album. This album will be released March 26, 2021 on the major music stores like Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Google Play.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I didn't spend much time on it and I think it shows. However, I feel that it serves its purpose. It's for a single.

I wanted art that communicated solitude.

I posted this piece in an earlier post about experimenting with the blend tool, but this one is part of the **Incessant Digging** series.

I tried to communicate motion in a matrix here. I'm not sure if I succeeded, but I like the results.

This one is a bit more abstract than the others. The shapes are all along the path of a sine wave.

The next few are from the Music for Coding series. This album is available on the major online music stores like Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Music, and others. Most of the artwork for the singles on this album use the same color palette.

This is for one of the singles on the album. I really don't like this, but I was in a hurry to get something and had a brain block trying to figure out what to do for this one. I'll definitely be revisiting this song's artwork.

I kept the artwork basic because I didn't want to get too complicated with it and overstress it with fancy flourishes. However, I need more practice.

Here is an image that I created to use as my artist image on bandcamp.

This is artwork that I created for a single that I recorded back in 2000 called Tenthesis II.

I'm currently working on the artwork for a few more singles and another two albums that I'm working on in my home studio. I've got some ideas for my intentional music algorithm and I'd like to spend some more time exploring the possibilities with that.

Here are a few for Scrambled Twigs.
