EAR PORN RECORDS

Los Angeles / Art Director

Earn Porn Records specializing in melodic techno, progressive house, and deep house. Blending analog and digital elements, the label highlights emotional, cinematic, and live-infused productions from global talent.

I worked with the record label to design artwork and digital assets for each release. Each tailored to resonate with the music’s rich layers and cinematic quality while maintaining a cohesive brand identity across streaming platforms.

Dark, abstract website homepage featuring a circular logo with the words 'EAR PORN,' and a background image of a woman's face in profile, close-up, with flowing hair and landscape elements including waterfalls and volcanoes.

The goal was to craft visually engaging designs that captured the music's emotional journey while aligning with the label’s identity, each release telling a unique visual story.

The artwork had to adapt seamlessly across platforms, ensuring it captivated audiences in both static and dynamic formats.

A digital collage featuring a woman lying on a bed, with mountain and lava imagery on her silhouette, set against a surreal sunset sky with a large red sun, chains, and floating geometric shapes.
Digital artwork featuring a dark island with lightning, a full moon, and a stylized glowing orange circle behind the island's peak, with clouds and turbulent ocean waves.

Through layered digital video collages, I used a foreground, middle ground, and background approach, which helped me craft visuals with subtle movement.

A surreal image showing a split in the sky with contrasting scenes: on the left, a calm, cloudy sky with greenish tones; on the right, a fiery, volcanic eruption with intense orange and red flames and smoke. The split resembles an opened book or a curtain revealing different worlds, symbolizing a transition or contrast between past and catastrophe.
