Cryptids, the subjects of Cryptozoology, the study of animals you can’t quite prove exist.
It’s also the name of a new EP released by Miët on La Belle Sauvage Records for which i co-designed the artwork with Suzy LeVoid, the entity behind the music.
Suzy designed the inside of the sleeve as well as all things written, we co-drew the sprawling mapoïd (with nib and ink, switching sides every time a song would change on whatever music we were listening to) that makes the front and the back, and i was more in charge of layout i guess.
The design was then printed using the embossing technique of typography by Imprimerie Trace onto cardboard. As you can see, they did a beautiful job.
I also created 5 cryptids to illustrate the 5 songs which can be found on the inlay cards hidden behind the lyrics of said songs.
I’ll be sharing those in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled !
In the meantime, go listen to Miët’s excellent EP here, and if you want a copy, you can write to [email protected] and they can send you a copy for 10€ + shipping, which, if you ask me, is a bargain.
