Artist Built To Spill: Still Burning
Still Burning is a conceptual vinyl project built from an original Acrylic painting, translating a single expressive artwork into a cohesive music identity. Rooted in themes of isolation and internal tension, the painting establishes a raw visual language that carries through the album cover, packaging, and supporting materials. The project explores how analog mark-making can scale into a unified system—where image, object, and sound exist as one continuous narrative.

01: Initial Sketch/Painting
The project began with an initial sketch exploring composition, symbolism, and emotional tone before evolving into an original acrylic painting. Inspired by themes of isolation, vulnerability, and internal conflict, the artwork uses expressive brushstrokes, bold color, and layered textures to establish the album's visual identity. The painting became the foundation for the vinyl cover, packaging, and supporting promotional materials, transforming a single piece of fine art into a cohesive music branding system.
