Typhoon Album Art

This is probably not like a lot of other Contra projects out there right now, but let's go with it.

First off, you should listen to this song while you're reading this

In 2019, I linked up with L.A.-based artist, Jo Darko, to do the creative direction and artwork for his new single Typhoon.

Hubris and tragedy lie at the heart of Typhoon.

I borrowed the foundation for the artwork from the painting “The Fall of Patheon”, by Peter Rubens, the 17th-century Flemish painter. This excerpt, taken from a much larger work, depicts Pantheon, the son of the Roman Sun-god, Apollo, plummeting to his death after failing to control the godly chariot that dictates the movement of the sun through the heavens.

Relationships. Tragedy. Pain. Vindication. Resurrection. Rebirth.

This is the story of Typhoon.
