When Illmaculate and OnlyOne (of Sandpeople) came to me with ideas about their newest project,
I was immediately pumping the breaks.

They were intending to bring along some props for the photoshoot, some props that deemed rather taboo. With a quick agreement of how to proceed, the two artists arrived at the studio with a bulky box and a bunch of grins. Out of the box came a fresh packed, real life pig’s head. Full size and enormous. Fleshy, pink, and seriously gross. As we all explored the best way to handle this animal head for the photographs, its flesh was beginning to come undone all over my white studio floor. Illmac & OnlyOne jumped into action and we secured some exciting photos for their artwork.

The album art was brought together by Adam, the graphical wizard for UPHEAVAL. He has a magical way of creating surreal yet believable images, and really takes my photographs to a new height with retouching.
