Catie's Cover Art Corner - #8 - Joyride - 8thy

Recently I put together a small portfolio of all the album cover arts I've ever done or contributed to, and I decided to queue up them all and talk about the albums themselves, designing the covers and the process where possible!

First, the day this is queued to be posted is my birthday! At time of writing I'm unsure what I'm going to do yet but hopefully a good one. Send cute opossums.

Joyride itself is another of my personal favourite songs I've made, also with a cover made on my phone. Love the text being white on the CMYK background and the heart for an O.

Overheat was the first of four singles I released in a short span of each other, and this and the second single are probably two of my outright favourites of mine. This cover was simply drawn on my phone one day, and I really like the simplicity and style to it.

This is probably the most interesting album of mine of all the one's released so far (but the one I'm working on I think could maaybe beat it!) Every day in October 2021, I made a song, and this is a two hour long, thirty-one song album because of it. This album is not good by any means, but it was a super interesting project to work on.

Link: https://gizmote.bandcamp.com/album/anagram-ep Made this for @gizmotemusic based off of a scrabble board, simple little colour scheme I quite like too.

This was my first album I made that was intended As An Album. I actually made covers for all the singles too but those were never used. Really like the simple B&W 1-bit pixel art look. Fun fact, this drawing I originally made for a Minecraft paintings texture pack.

This is the first album where the copy pasted "or contributed to" aspect of these queue comes up as I only made the vines and leaves on the text here. Love @gizmotemusic's photo here too :>

Catie's Cover Art Corner - #2 - Songs To Spacewalk To - Gizmote

Recently I put together a small portfolio of all the album cover arts I've ever done or contributed to, and I decided to queue up them all and talk about the albums themselves, designing the covers and the process where possible!

Link: https://gizmote.bandcamp.com/album/songs-to-spacewalk-to-charity-album My first cover for someone else! @gizmotemusic is a friend of mine I met through the TWOW community, and this cover I'm pretty sure is still their computer background, as well as their tumblr banner and my desktop background. The cover was designed as the space background first with different folders of each planet that I could rearrange as Gizmo or I needed.

I really like this cover, there's always going to be things that can be approved on, this one in particular is super saturated and maybe the elements could be cleaner and more distinct, but I think it serves as a really good stepping stone in my art progress, because hey, if I made it and I look at it and I like it, that's a win to me!

The first cover here is a simple one, as this was my first foray into uploading music online. This weird lil colourful pattern I had made I decided to use as the cover. A pretty simple start to the queue!

Word A Day - February 2025

Last year, I gave myself the daily project of writing a singular unique word to describe the day. This year, I’m continuing the project!

February was another slow month, sorting out some disability supports this month though which has been a great feeling, the month word being because it's so nice knowing there's a route for me when I've been wanting to get this stuff sorted for years but finally went and actually got assistance in searching for this stuff. Crazy, I know, reaching out helps, who would have guessed.

When this is queued to go out I think it'll be the new month, I'll probably be asleep BUT OTHERWISE starting this month strong with a couple doctors appointments I needed to get sorted too which is a good feeling.

Feeling incredibly artistically satisfied the past couple days and hoping to bring that into this next month too.

That's all from me, goodbye the season of Summer down here and goodbye the shortest month <3

Word A Day - January 2025

Last year, I gave myself the daily project of writing a singular unique word to describe the day. This year, I’m continuing the project!

January was a slower month for me, but with a big week right at the end. The roadtrip I went on was especially lovely. I don’t mind how chill it was though all things considered, still not the best ever but it wasn’t too hectic or anything so.

Here’s to Year Two of 755!

Word A Day - December

This year I gave myself the daily project of writing a singular unique word to describe the day.

And there we have it! My silly project is now complete, at least for this year.

Here’s all twelve images compiled together, this was a fun project, rough year but I’m glad I get to look back at it through this project and have a pretty good memory of what happened and all the adventures I went on.

The full retrospective is available at this document though I’ll put it on my website later but yeah https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dur2XE0QfXTn2ssfZAa4UhUapv4NSHqZvwaMfwJhQqc/edit?usp=sharing

Word A Day - November

This year I have given myself the daily project of writing a singular unique word to describe the day.

New friends and multiple adventures had this month, trying to spend more time with good people whilst trying to build safety for myself. One month to go

Word A Day - October

This year I have given myself the daily project of writing a singular unique word to describe the day.

Made this image after the fact but a rough month, finding my footing still and in general feeling quite unsafe. Either way, it’s a month
