Alternate Album Art!

Hey everyone!

I'm doing this post a little early because I have to head out to work in a bit, but I wanted to share this cool piece of art before I left. Some of you might recognize this picture, as I used it as a profile picture on a few platforms for a while. However, you guys are the first to see the full, finished picture!

The artist for this picture is zSloth, who's style you guys might recognize since he's been doing a lot of my art recently. In case you don't know, he's worked on the cover for Komoroko, Our Melody and this upcoming release, Now That I Have You. He's one of my favorite artists period and just a really good friend.

This picture was originally intended as the cover for the record, which I had the idea of naming something along the lines of "Caffeine Addiction" or "Coffee and Compressors." The idea was to lean into the whole Red Bull aesthetic that Discoholic set for me with his remix. Those titles were a little silly though, so I went with Now That I Have You instead, which I found a little more meaningful. Fun fact, the outfit used in this picture was inspired by the kind of clothes I would actually wear in the winter time, as I did have a habit of stopping at coffee shops and making music there around that time. (Also the inspiration for the Rotti album cover!)

Hope you guys enjoyed this insight! Hopefully the picture gets incorporated into the upcoming release, though if it doesn't I'll find a use for it either way.

Take care everyone! - m
