This past Friday Amanda Bullick of Brutally Beautiful and I got together to do the artwork and promo shots for the Pieces EP. We did it all, from set up to shoot to layout in one day! Thank god for the clarity of dreams that direct your vision and friends with the skills and talent to help realize them! Thank you, Amanda!
The album cover!!!!
Over the last month Amanda Bullick of Brutally Beautiful and I have been dreaming up an image that shines new light on my song “Open Letter To My Heart”. In the post below you will get a look behind the scenes of the shoot and a sneak peek at the postcard I will have at Canadian Music Week with me next month.
After many hours of masking tape, papiermache (the brunt of which Amanda gracefully took on as the paste was making my already flaring ezcema quite itchy) , low temperature ovens, paint and petty garden robbery we completed the moths.
We gathered a team of talented people for the usual photo shoot tasks and headed to the Brutally Beautiful headquarters
With one red ladder, a make up artist and a hair stylist added to our team we were unstoppable!
With the back drop hung we set to work on the lighting, the moths and the light bulbs!
We moved the ladder many times….Amanda is quite strong. Tiny but tough!
Hair by my talented Mama!

What a difference hair and make-up make… 😉

Oh and the homecoming is sweet. So much love and so many beautiful surprises!
See you all on Saturday May 21st at Cafe Deux Soleils! Show starts at 9pm.
’till then,
xoxo
