“Hopscotch”
In Dialogue :
Henry Moore, “Three Women In A Shelter”
1941
Kazumasa Nagai, Unknown Title (taken from “Poster Museum”
Franz Kline, “Working Model for ‘Oval with Points’”
c.1968-1969
JOYCE:RE:
The illustration with the young Student (a symbolic figure for Home-Room) is donning a pair of in-house shorts we had made over at a.Demonstration︎︎︎ and was made to act as promotional material for the Object as much as it was an exercise of expression.
This set includes exerpts from the work of Henry Moore and Kazumasa Nagai- two artists I admire- providing texture and tension both aesthetically and contextually. Moore’s work came to mind after finishing the second figure and just felt right to connect to the set of work.
The second figure (I refer to as the Effigy of the Student) was the result of the initial sketch for what was supposed to be the young Student, but was instead left unfinished and later rendered to look almost sculptural. Despite not being fully realized as its original intent, the Effigy still retains the same momentum found in the (final rendition) Student. A dynamism I found to be essential from the start.

This piece features the illustration I made for Cruyff’s album entitled “lovefullstudentnerdthings.”
I was asked by the band to make what I normally would for myself. ( I for some reason have never made art for music with those intentions. ) As a result, the work has appeared so naturally, and its form so versatile- meaning I can make seperate versions of the work ( outside of its context as art for music- ) and all can exist in tandem and develop perpetually.

“Sleep, or Lack Thereof”
In Dialogue :
Philip Guston, “Painter In Bed”︎︎︎
1973
Philip Guston, “Pittore”︎︎︎
1973
JOYCE:RE:
(Drawing from) the feeling that my insomnia is my own doing, my own fault. I keep myself awake when I know I have to sleep… When I know I should just do it. Trying to sleep can feel physically draining and it feels like a fight with myself every time I do. A fight I can’t seem to win most of the time. Sometimes I wrestle with myself so intensely that I get exhausted and knock out and wake up in the morning (or in most cases, in the afternoon) before I even realize I had fallen asleep. I feel a prisoner in a confinement of my own design.
In his paintings “Pittore” (1973) and “Painter in Bed” (1973), a particular motif that stuck out to me was the singular eye- And god how they look dry and exhausted.
After seeing one on top of the other, I like to believe that “Pittore” takes place moments after “Painter In Bed.” The eye in “Pittore” looks as though it’s in so much more pain— much more strained and bloodshot. And the presence of the clock is portrayed, looming over the painter, as if to remind him of its presence— to remind him that his time to rest is running out… no, his time on this earth is running out.
...I love the detail of the blanket being so tight, constricting the painter like a strait-jacket. A prisoner of the bed. A prisoner in his human flesh. A prisoner of time. All those things coincide...

“Casi Angeles <3”
©JOYCE for Heartgaze
Illustration, Graphic Design
Heartgaze approached me to design artworks for his debut album entitled “Casi Angeles”︎︎︎- an energetic project which I found recontextualizes sounds/genre reminiscent of late 90s early 2000s, shining a light on a unique side of Spanish music typically unseen and unknown- (particularly in the States, where sounds outside of Reggaton, Salsa, or Bachata are not typically/readily visible to people.) I myself was stunned by the project and was so ecstatic to have recieved the opportunity define the sounds of the music visually.
The artwork was made using photographs taken and provided by Noah Keckler︎︎︎. I digitally altered, stylized and collaged Keckler’s photographs with illustrative iconography and additional graphics.
Each of the artworks found on the singles borrows a section/icon from the complete EP artwork as they are fragments of the full project.
Released in 2023.

“lovefullstudentnerdthings”
©JOYCE for Cruyff
Illustration, Graphic Design, Identity, Product + Package Design
Cruyff is a punk+alternative rock band based in Tokyo, Japan. “lovefullstudentnerdthings”︎︎︎ is the first album of this genre I have the honour of visually representing. The challenge was to create something not often seen on albums within the genre, while staying true to their existing sounds and respective inspirations, which was a diverse selection of sounds and media that aren’t directly or typically associated with the genre’s known aesthetics. This was a dynamic I wanted to play with, as I felt it would be interesting to give a new visual presence to this style of music and their style of sound:
The artworks feature a graphite illustration as per the band’s request and it was composed to exaggerate the interplay between rough and violent illustrative elements and controlled and sleek digital graphic elements- I had gravitated towards this duality after listening to the band’s music and learning a little more about its members.
As the band was a relatively new and upcoming one, I decided it would be cool to design a special logotype for their use on future projects. This logotype is based off a typeface found on their first EP, “hot/iden”︎︎︎.
Additionally provided were further designs for cassette / J-Card product + packaging.
Released in 2023.
