    VIAJE A IXTLÁN / CALMA I & II | ALBUM ARTWORK

    For this release, Viaje a Ixtlán presented two contrasting records under a single title: Calma.

    With 8 new songs—4 per record—Calma I stays closer to its predecessor, Vol. II, featuring Sergio Ch. (Los Natas / Ararat) on “El Río” and “Atemporal” as the only acoustic track. The first part leans into a more psychedelic, ethereal sound, mostly with vocals.

    The branding included both album covers, the 8 tracks as individual singles derived from the main visuals, and a set of animated pieces for social media.

    SUPERTIERRA / ESTONER BAILABLE | ALBUM ARTWORK

    In 2023, I was invited by Martin Irusta and his project SUPERTIERRA to design a new cover for their second album, Estoner Bailable. The result continues to fill me with pride. I also made some additional artwork to complete the visual universe of the project, which is led by four beautiful tracks full of psychedelic and heavy rock.
