Since 2015, I have been making music under various names. Most recently I’ve been releasing songs under Sulkworm (previously Ugly Nate). Along with rebranding under a new name, I wanted to change the aesthetics to be focused on how this is very much a personal, solo project of mine as the aesthetics of the first album “heel.” I had recorded for this alias consists of very soft Singer/Songwriter folk tunes.
“folly” – EP Art and Promotion
I released a two song EP called “folly” to build anticipation for the album and also to get people acclimated with the new direction I wanted to go with my music. I created visuals to have a handmade and personal feel by using my own handwriting, drawings and physically altering then scanning the photos for the cover.

“heel.” – Album Art and Promotion
While designing the cover art I created a google form to collect pictures of people’s dogs and promoted it using physically printed material on our school’s risograph. This doubled as a way to promote the album via email/linktr.ee and also collect personal photos of dogs for use on the cover.
