Diet Cig on their favourite visual artists that helped inspire their music – Brag Magazine

Diet Comments Off on Diet Cig on their favourite visual artists that helped inspire their music – Brag Magazine

2020 has seen New York heartthrobs Diet Cig drop three of the most joy-inducing singles weve heard in quite some time. Thriving, Who Are You?, and Night Terrors.

The band are set to release their highly-anticipated second album, Do You Wonder About Me? . If these singles are anything to go off, the album is going to be a total dream.

In anticipation for the release of Do You Wonder About Me? Diet Cig were so generous as to talk us through their favourite visual artists that theyve collaborated with throughout their career. So pop on their latest single, Who Are You? and check out what they had to say below.

Visual art has always been so important to our band, we love taking the time to create exciting visuals to accompany our music and launches! Were so lucky to have had the pleasure of collaborating with so many amazing artists in this way. We spent a lot of time making our own visual art in 2019 as we wrote our upcoming album Do You Wonder About Me? and diving into screenprinting, digital illustration and sculpture really helped us push our creativity and find other artists who we admire! Heres five visual artists we had the pleasure of working with on merch, album art and photography for our new record:

Dessy Baeva

Dessy is an illustrator that I had been following on instagram for a while, Im such a big fan of her work and when I started doing digital illustration she was such a big inspiration! Her colors are so beautiful and saturated and when we were brainstorming album art ideas I couldnt get her work out of my head. I dmd her and asked if shed be interested in taking on a big project with us and when she agreed we started working on our album cover! We went through lots of sketches and colorways, one of which appears within the physical album as a poster! It was so lovely working with an artist I admire so much on a personal level and I couldnt be happier with what she came up with!

Shannon Levin

Shannon created our logo and some of our merch items, shes a type wizard and created a custom logo/font for us! Her work is so cool and unique, full of really fresh and dynamic shapes. We worked together on creating our logo and it was really fun to go back and forth on the details of the type because weve never commissioned someone to make a logo before. She gave us three options to choose from to get started and it was so hard to choose what direction to go in because they were all so good!! Were really inspired by her illustration work and her type work and it was such a pleasure to work together on making our design dreams come true.

Megan Badilla

Megan is an illustrator in the Bay Area who weve had a bunch of mutual friends with for a while now! When we were planning our album preorder merchandise drop, we decided we wanted to do an exclusive bundle inspired by each single that was coming out. We wanted a special t-shirt in them that was designed by a different artist for each song, and Megan created the shirt for our first single Thriving! Her style is so cheeky and playful and she totally captured the vibe we were looking for in the Thriving tee. Im obsessed with all the characters in her illustrations, is it weird that I want to be friends with them all???

Fabiola Lara

Our second single weve made a bundle for is a song called Who Are You? and Fabiola designed the shirt for it! Her work is like if somehow your middle school birthday party was actually as cool as you remember it being, it feels nostalgic and fresh all at once, like some teenage fever dream. I love her textures and references to pop culture, her work just brings me joy!! I want to have a sleepover inside her illustrations <3

Em Dubin

Em is a super talented photographer who weve known for a couple years now, were gone on tour together, done photoshoots, and even made music videos. We worked with her on our album photoshoot, she not only took the photos but creative directed our looks, the set, everything. She always captures her subjects so beautifully and nobody has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. I love her live photos of bands, and her on-set work is so well executed.
