ETHANTRIPP.

Aspera: Back When Love

Aspera brought in a great portrait artist to do the painting for this cover. I felt it only made sense to approach it like a classic 70's rock album. This album unfortunately remains unreleased.

Aspera: Sugar and Feathered

Aspera wanted an over-the-top, psychedelic, fantasy world created for their second full length album.

Denison Witmer: Of Joy and Sorrow

Denison Witmer is an introspective singer songwriter. Instead of pigeon-holing him with overly sentimental packaging, I used simple primary colors and projected text on the walls of his apartment to create an environment that was somber, but not sappy.

Denison Witme: The 80's e.p.

This E.P. preceded the above album. The two were collected in a set with a poster to commemorate the full length record release.

Ester Drang: Goldenwest

Ester Drang plays a somber form of neo-psychedelia with a sparkling clarity of production. I collaborated with their label head and shot the images at an airport. The images were then halftoned and splashed with primary color to create a woozy, sundrenched atmosphere.

Damien Jurado: This Fabulous Century

Damien Jurado is a singer songwriter whose work moves from introspective love songs to songs about serial killers. This being a retrospective, live, "bootleg" album, I assembled a rorschach test out of his press images and roughed it up using a photocopier to give it the necessary "unofficial" quality.
