ALBUM ARTWORK

For The Watt Riot’s second EP, Paint the City Red, I created the album artwork using mixed media techniques similar to those from their first EP, Nightmare on Love St, which I also designed. The artwork combined hand-drawn elements, collaged photos, images of found objects, and painting techniques. These were scanned and digitally refined to craft the final layout. The album was printed on cardboard digipaks, featuring clear UV spot splatter paint on all panels for a striking effect.

Additionally, I produced a multimedia bonus video for the CD/DVD, which included an animated intro, a Triple J Unearthed video from their performance with Eagles of Death Metal, self-filmed music videos, and behind-the-scenes footage from the band’s recording sessions. This project showcased a cohesive blend of visual art and multimedia storytelling, enhancing the band’s creative vision.
