Mat Maitland's artwork for FALLINLOVE2NITE

For anyone interested, the artwork to the new single was done by Mat Maitland, who's previously worked with people like Basement Jaxx and Beck.

His speciality is in collages. I dig the artwork!

This is his website and this is his Instagram page.

It reminds me of "Graffiti Bridge", in a way.

thedoorkeeper	Check out the images on his website - he did a MJ pic that is very similar to this including the gold rings and floating gold nuggets.

Cool to know. However the clouds are cool and the rings but the mountain image is just stupid.

Overall pretty cheesy but no where as bad as this

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

I don't know what you mean by "stupid" so I cannot agree with you, but I think it looks too dirty.

What?

That a mountain with grass and flowers and Julie Andrews on it would have looked better to me.

What?

my first thought was lord of the rings. hmmm. so those 2 circles are mirrors reflecting the gold, which itself seems to have reflections in it just beyond my discernment. one looks like a mouth and some look like hearts? very yin yang, i dig the purple in his hair, and i LOVE clouds!

flowing through the veins of the tree of life...purplemaplesyrup

Huh. Okay let me see: the stretched font, the photo sticking out from the background, the really bad lighting effect applied on his face, poor resolution for the font and the background image and it doesn't make much sense conceptually (uhm, vines?). The booklet inside looked fine though. It's hard to see why the cover was so amateurish. It's like he was given a sketch and Prince said "Use that! No more work on it!".

novabrkr	Double huh. The single artwork is based entirely on the Michael Jackson image the artist has done earlier. He's just substituted Prince for MJ and the mountains and the clouds for the chimps.
