O.C.

For the tenth anniversary of Word…Life, O.C.’s debut, I was hired to recreate the iconic cover from scratch. I also redesigned his second LP, Jewelz. Both had been out of print for years, and the original artwork was lost when the labels behind them went under.

Recreating Word…Life meant getting every detail right. Fans know that cover by heart, and a wrong color or a shifted font would’ve been noticed. His fifth album, Smoke and Mirrors, was the opposite: a new record for the D.I.T.C. legend, a clean brief and nothing to match.
