Cover artwork and packaging for rapper Spec Kay's album XXV and two accompanying singles – Burn and Strange Dreams. The music itself strays from typical rap and hip-hop, using haunting, hypnotic beats and rhythms, and featuring extremely personal, introspective lyrics. Each cover is based on a color that captures the mood of the music, and a variety of manipulation techniques (both digital and analog) were used to create strange, abstract images (including a portrait of the artist himself) that compliment the dark, autobiographical nature of the music.
