Just About Done discuss the artwork of ‘I Am Getting By’!
18.
Vocalist Samantha McGee is now here to give you a deeper insight into the creation of ‘I Am Getting By’s cover...
“For our EP 'I Am Getting By', we really worked hard and discussed at length how to make everything as cohesive as possible. We wanted our music to be a complete experience for listeners with every element tying together. We decided we had a preference to collaborate with other artists who are not the typical choices for bands in our scene. Mind Society Studios, our directors for the music videos, were the first step. We were the first band they have worked with and this ended up operating so well as it enabled us to create something totally different to what has been done before. And approaching the artwork, we knew we wanted to do the same. The artist we selected to do the cover piece is Eric Doyle, a tattooist from Washington, DC. We knew he was the man for the job as soon as we stumbled across his Instagram (@eodoyle). We wanted a cover that represented our EP in one way or another. And we wanted it in that clean, traditional style. The idea of the cover came from the music videos we had made. As well as the theme of the to be revealed ‘Peacemaker’ (Part 3, the finale of the trilogy). A nurse is seen in this clip, and the theme of the song covers loss of faith. It is very subtle, but the cross on the nurse’s hat has an extended top half, creating an inverted crucifix. We wanted to engage our listeners with more than just our music, which is why we created such an in-depth story through our videos and artwork. And we are so proud to have Eric's art represent the music of our EP 'I Am Getting By'.”
