Los Angeles

Jamie Drake released her achingly beautiful debut album, Everything's Fine, in late 2019. As the world fell apart in 2020, the album gained new resonance — at once timely and timeless.

We collaborated with artist Kristen Meyer to create an elaborate found-object collage atop a striking portrait by photographer Kathryna Hancock.

Disciplines

  • Graphic Design
  • Creative Direction

Jamie's music is earthy yet enchanted; timely and timeless.

We worked with the transcendent (not to mention meticulous) artist Kristen Meyer to create the collage. Watch her at work below:

Finally, we made this bizarre music video for her first single, Redwood Tree:
