I started working on this cover a while ago and had to a do a digital cover sooner than later (the last image shown). One thing lead to another and I ended up getting asked to do the full Beams release, Matthews forthcoming LP. 

I flew out to NYC and did a live painting on film for the cover. What you see is a cropped detail of the full cover, which will make more sense when you see the full release for Beams.

Facebook hired Cina Associates for a couple of projects and one of them was to create an illustration for their yearly f8 conference. This table was later turned into a window and installed in the Facebook offices.

Our illustration tells a story of the many ways that we connect and relate to one another. Each element loops into the next: the sea, the sky, the country and the city; everyday life made extraordinary by the personal details. In a larger sense, the illustration conveys that each person is part of something bigger than just themselves; their life stories are played out through shared interactions, communications and experiences. 

Art Direction: Michael Cina
Designers: Michael Cina and Eric Carlson

Special thanks to Ben Barry, Kate Iverson and Mark Bixby

We were invited to be part of a gallery show curated by Armchair. They chose ten of their favorite artists and had them team up with a charity. I picked Dashboard Co-Op, an Atlanta art's collective that donates their time and materials to educating the local youth. 

The theme was "Ten" and I instantly thought of how the sale of this one artwork could transform into helping ten people. Thus "One Two Ten."</description>

Resident Advisor approached us to design a poster for their ten year tour. The only restriction was that it had to have an X through the poster. We decided to use that to our advantage, designing the poster around the form using simple geometry. 

We picked Japan because of their love for simplicity and whitespace. Since it was Japan, we decided that the posters should be even more limited so we designed a system where four spot colors could be used to create 15 different designs if printed numerically.

About the Art:

GLIMMER

1. A faint or unsteady light; gleam.
2. A dim perception; inkling.

Verb (used without object)

3. To shine faintly or unsteadily; twinkle, shimmer, or flicker.
4. To appear faintly or dimly.

Gold leaf is as thin as air while also being one of the most precious metals in the world. This is a great visual analogy for what you hear in this record. 

It is delicate, the smallest motion destroys its form.
It is timeless, pulling from both the old and the new.
It is complex, while being one mineral.
 
I thought a lot about how time, space, light, and sound interact with form when creating this project. 

On the top left of the final cover, you see a breaking bit of blue coming though the darkness. 

What you find on the inside spreads was created from a process of destroying a canvas with a knife, placing sand and dirt on top of this, painting everything black, then applying gold leaf on top of the surface, thus breaking the delicate material. From there the piece was shot every hour from sunrise to sunset, documenting it's lustre through time.

About the Music:

For the past decade or so, Polish musician Michal Jacaszek has been exploring a new, resolutely modern chapter in Eastern Europe’s long, storied love affair with classical music. His creations are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation, harpsichords being swarmed by woolly static one minute and pulled apart by billowing wind the next. 

Jacaszek’s latest album, Glimmer, is marked by a noticeable tug between melancholy and beauty, like it’s hovering in some gaseous grey area between both, at once both insular and extroverted. “I tried again to create some fragile beauty glimmering behind the veil of reality,” he says. “I built a kind of curtain out of dirts and fuzzes, and used pure sound of clarinet and harpsichord playing beautiful melodies as a contrast to its harshness.” This winking, push-and-pull tension runs deep and constant throughout the 40-odd-minute journey to the end.

To parse an album so deeply experiential and deliberately cohesive track-by-track seems unfair, almost ludicrous. But there are undisputed highlights—the apocalyptic crescendo at the end of “Evening Strains To Be Time’s Vast,” with its crunch of nightmarish noise and bit-crushed distortion; the dizzying, obscenely pretty tangle of Spanish guitar in “As Each Tucked String Tells.” Glimmer is, quite simply, an album that’s easy to get lost in without being easy to ignore. Don’t expect any eyelid drooping while it’s on.</description>
