For this cover, I tried to find a way of illustrating the band without explicitly illustrating the band, by spending ages making portraits of them or drawing them as full fledged characters or anything like that, as thats something I would probably have leant on in the past.
The band Dream Wife is comprised of three women, so I wanted that element to be present in the design. While listening to the song I thought of the three fates of Greek Mythology, because of the way the three women seem to share a single voice between them, in an almost eerie way. I thought the defining features of these mythological characters would be either their shared eyeball or their hands, that were used to draw out the thread of mortal lives and cut them with scissors to measure people’s lifespan.
