STRFKR, the band, wanted an album cover reflective of their live show which incorporated fir trees and occasional drag elements.

I offered two approaches: a minimalist approach and a maximalist approach. The band, drawn towards playful absurdity, chose the maximalist approach.

(*Note: for their follow up EP, Jupiter, they picked my minimalist option.)

An odd and playful cover to accentuating the band’s quirky nature.

With a significant line up change, the band wanted the cover to reflect the current line up. After seeing the band play Cindy Lauper’s ‘Girls just want to have fun’, I drew inspiration from the Golden Girls, and reorganized the original cover elements.
