070 Shake
You Can't Kill Me
Creative direction, album artwork, photography, logotype, packaging design, merch design, tour posters, and copywriting for 070 Shake’s sophomore album “You Can’t Kill Me.” At its core, the project grapples with immateriality of self, formlessness, internal tension, the multiplicity of the ego, and one’s ability to transform themself and continually remold their core. The album artwork was featured in Our Culture Magazine’s “The 50 Best Album Covers of 2022” at #15. Photography featured on Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Fader, Complex, The Guardian, and Pitchfork. (Winter 2022 – Spring 2022)
