”I wanted the cover of the album to be really classic and strong, like one of the records from my childhood where when you’d see the colors and shapes on it from across the room, you’d immediately recognize it. A classic ”icon” …so it’s very simple really. But then I did a really elaborate painting for the inside that is totally ornate…I wanted people to open this kind of sparse, plain thing and be drawn into another world that kind of visually told the story of some of the emotions of the record. Kind of like peeling a weird fruit open…the inner painting was really inspired by some of the Latino psychedelic murals that were done around San Francisco in the late 60’s-early 70’s….like the cover of Abraxsis by Santana which is a record I grew up on and always loved. So, it’s the ”Orchid version” of those murals.”
