Album Cover Art with Classic Illustration

This is an album cover art with the singer's portrait as the main focus. The smirking face is made using a hand-drawn technique in the classic linocut style. The concept is a mix of life and death, so these illustrations are made to look dramatic and mysterious. The figure appear to overlap with the surrounding scenery, creating a unique optical illusion. The shading part of the mountain is an abstract form of a piano as the singer's main instrument.
