Project

I designed the LP artwork for Thrive & Wither by Chelsea Deadbeat Combo. The visual concept is closely connected to the album title and the themes of the songs. The cover shows a still life composed of classic symbols alongside contemporary objects, each of which can be linked to individual tracks and their narratives.

The colour palette combines dark, moody tones with vivid accents of violet and lemon yellow, bringing the traditional still life into a more modern context. A limited edition of the record was released featuring alternative elements and variations of the artwork. Elements from the illustration were later reused across the band’s merchandise, allowing the visual world of the album to extend beyond the record itself.
