Chip Pirrs Album Launch

Chip was preparing to launch a new album—his biggest release to date—and wanted artwork that fully aligned with the album’s tone, messaging, and overall vision. After an initial phone interview and spending several days listening to the album on repeat, I was given the creative freedom to explore concepts that felt true to the project. The process began with rough sketches to establish direction. Once a clear visual path was agreed upon, I moved into digital explorations, which ultimately led to the final album artwork and the broader creative direction surrounding the release. The visual approach focused on merging the analog and digital worlds by combining tactile paper textures with digital, glitch-like elements. The album title, Place I’ve Left Myself, felt like a personal history of Chip—a disjointed yet connected journey spanning many years. This naturally lent itself to a collage-based approach, where contrasting elements could coexist and interact. That meshing of worlds became a core visual theme, reflecting Chip’s uniquely defined genre, and carried through to supporting assets such as social posts, single artwork, banners, videos, and merchandise.
