Illustration for Skryptor's Luminous Volumes

May 19, 2019 in Illustration, Literary

It was a pleasure to return to black and white pen and ink illustration for my contribution to the band Skryptor’s Luminous Volumes record and book set. I did a two page spread for author Maria Gabriele Baker’s short story Slaughterhouse Vision. For a while now, Aqua Lamb Records have been releasing illustrated books that accompany the music releases, and I love the idea.

Skryptor is a NYC trio featuring members of craw, Dazzling Killmen, and STATS. Luminous Volumes is the band’s debut album in a joint venture between renowned record labels Skin Graft, Sleeping Giant Glossolalia, and Aqualamb.

The record is available in vinyl, CD, and digital formats, along with a deluxe, illustrated, 100-page book featuring original horror stories curated by Skryptor bassist David McClelland. I got my advance copy of the book and it is a wonderful addition to the brilliant music.
