Alexander Carson - Album Artwork
A collection of illustrations for UK singer-songwriter, Alexander Carson. Each piece represents a track from the album, touching on the key lyrics from the song.
The style for each piece was inspired by classic tarot cards, with an emphasis on detailed linework imitating 1800’s engravings.
Here are some words by Alexander Carson explaining the main themes of the album:
”The Idiot” is my 3rd solo studio LP. Recorded at 4AD studios by Fabian Prynn as well as Hackney Road studios by Shuta Shinoda. “The Idiot” is inspired by the mundanity of modernity and aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre of the music. Essentially the record is trying to set one Oscar Wilde quote to music: "Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about"
