Poison in the Garden

Album art for the release of singer-songwriter nickly_d’s sophomore album “Poison in the Garden”. “Poison in the Garden” explores the musician’s life-long battle with depression and mental illness while growing up in a religious household—all during the rapid development of the internet in the 90’s-00’s.

Featuring Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi‘s Adoration of the Magi (c. 1440/1460), the “Poison in the Garden” album art layers visual aspects of religion, early-2000s gaming aesthetics, and techno beats to encapsulate nickly_d’s distinct childhood upbringing and body of work.
