bbd_uncertainty is delight_record sleeve

cover wrapped in plastic
_what
record sleeve for the los angeles-based band, big black delta
_how
jonathan bates of big black delta asked that we might make the record sleeve for his new LP. the record is called "adonai", which means "lord of all lords". it's quite a thing to behold.

the finished recordings have existed for a year or so now, and for this reason the album artwork has been something that jon and caspar have had time to work and rework as they saw fit. the final result is a science-fiction-tinged salvador dali, wassily kandinsky and max ernst-esque digital painting.

the cover here for the album's first single, "uncertainty is delight", is a taste of what's to come. you can listen to the song here.

seeing through the darkness_film poster

_what
poster for the documentary, seeing through the darkness.
_how
montreal-based writer / director simon plouffe reached out to us after he saw our poster for lucy kerr's family portrait. simon had just finished his fourth film and was looking to make a poster for it. the film is called "les yeux ne font pas le regard", which roughly translates into english as, seeing through the darkness. a documentary on blindness caused by armed conflicts, the film follows the lives of several people blinded in different ways in different countries, and attempts to illustrate how they experience the world now.

the film is beautiful, moving and difficult to watch. we were excited to make a poster for it. caspar and simon came up with the concept for the poster on the phone together, and then after a few rounds landed on the version you see here.

the film will have its world premiere at the 2024 montreal international documentary festival, where it will compete for the magnus isacsson award.

after_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the documentary short, after.
_how
rob o'brien – an old school friend of caspar's – reached out. he'd just finished making a documentary about losing his mother. the film is called "after". the 8 minute short film depicts rob and his sister entering their mother's empty house soon after she passed. we witness their immediate reactions to seeing the house looking very much as if she'd just walked out the door, and might return at any moment.

we presented a range of ideas and rob chose the one you see here. the picture of his mother used is the one he has in his kitchen right now, and yes his mother's name began with the letter E. the rest of the poster tries to simply reflect upon the terribly empty space which she surely left behind.
