Alguien me dijo que podría hacer una firma más grande, así que voy a probar de hacer eso 👀 por lo general la hago pequeña porque no quiero que sea una distracción en el dibujo, pero es cierto que es difícil de leer.
Este dibujo es para Ciro-27 en Deviantart, también como premio por haber sido uno de los ganadores en el concurso que organicé ahí el año pasado.

Someone told me I could do a bigger signature so I will try doing that 👀I usually make it small because I don’t want it to be a distraction from the drawing, but it is true that it is difficult to read.
This drawing is for Ciro-27 on Deviantart, also as a prize for having been one of the winners in the contest I organized there last year.

Uncovered: Sub Focus - Evolve
As we continue to explore the artworks for some of this year’s shortlisted albums for the Best Art Vinyl 2023 Award, next up is English DJ, record producer and musician Nicolaas Douwma aka Sub Focus and his fourth album 'Evolve' which was created by Mat Maitland from the award winning creative consultancy Big Active.
We caught up with Mat who gave us an insight into the creative concepts and processes for the artwork. He told us, "With any new project we like to discuss things thoroughly before starting to present ideas and for this album it was very collaborative in establishing the creative route."
Big Active had a good starting point for the project and a rich history with Sub Focus having worked on three previous albums with him - ‘Portals’, ‘Reworks I’ and ‘Torus’ and Mat explains, "Often with music campaigns, we are honing in on two things primarily - the central concept and the visual aesthetic.”
Sub Focus & Wilkinson - ‘Portals’ EMI (2020) artwork by Big Active
Sub Focus ‘Reworks I’ RAM records (2021) artwork by Big Active
Sub Focus - ’Torus’ RAM Records, Virgin EMI Records (2013) artwork by Big Active
We asked Mat about the inspirations for the current album artwork for 'Evolve', he says, "Conceptually there was something early on that came out of our discussions with Nicolaas, the idea of Nudibranchs - a group of tiny soft-bodied molluscs that live under water, noted for their extraordinary colours and striking forms. Nicolaas is a keen diver and had come across these on his travels. Straight away we felt that this was a really interesting thing to base the campaign on. Firstly, it was an unusual subject matter and secondly it talked to the title ‘Evolve’ perfectly - having a synergy with human evolution as well as sonic mutations symbolised in the music itself."
Mat explains, "Aesthetically we didn’t want to just use straight documentary images of Nudibranchs, so we had some decisions to make in how to present the concept. I had been working on a personal project the previous year with digital artist Claudia Rafael and felt that she would be a great collaborator in elevating how the forms were depicted. After collating a huge bank of imagery we decided to remove any sense of environment, instead having them live in a void of darkness to elevate their impact but also remove any concept of scale. Working with Claudia, we processed all of this source material through GAN machine learning. This is a process whereby the computer is learning to mimic and re-render the imagery and while doing so, creates less accurate versions of it. It also starts mixing up and combining elements from all the separate images to create new versions."
This re-rendered concept and technique was continued for the accompanying single release artworks and, taking the creative concept to a fully immersive offering, Mat and the team also produced a set of animations for each of the releases for an installation at the album launch where the work was projected on huge immersive LED screens.

Fine Day - Sub Focus (single cover)
I Found You - Sub Focus (single cover)
Vibrations - Sub Focus (single cover)
Mat continues, "So, this ‘evolutionary’ theme was also inherent in the creation of the final album cover imagery itself which we then took to its full conclusion by producing a ‘lenticular’ LP format where the images animate and evolve in front of your eyes. As GAN renders out thousands of images it was a process of curation with Nicolaas in deciding which frames were chosen for the artwork. Once we had decided on the isolated frames (for the main cover art) we then used the frames either side of this for the lenticular LP…which uses five separate images to create the ‘morph’."
The 'Evolve' lenticular album cover fills Art Vinyl’s album-artwork-archivist hearts with joy. It really is something to be seen in the flesh, morphing before your very eyes and epitomising the joy of owning the physical vinyl release. Another masterpiece of album artwork added to the Best Art Vinyl annals.

Help me frame my ArtPrize entry!
Hi friends, I did something I never expected to do and entered my illustration series "Places I Have Lived" into ArtPrize this year. The eleven framed illustrations will be displayed at Harmony Brewing Company for the duration of the exhibition! For a variety of reasons, I'm genuinely excited to have been connected with this venue.
However, the illustrations are not printed or framed yet (the image above is just a mockup I made for my entry), and the cost of eleven high quality custom frames will end up being quite expensive (my initial goal for this fundraiser is just a portion of the projected cost!). If you feel so inclined, you can donate at gofundme.com/f/hromi-artprize.
Every donation helps, and I appreciate your support so much. If you're not into fundraisers, consider a purchase instead at studiohromi.com/shop, share my GoFundMe link with your own networks, or simply vote for my piece during ArtPrize.
