FOR COLE BENNETT

I made this for a zine that I'm releasing with my album, The Misadventures of Quad.

Your face ended up being one of the biggest pieces in it because you and Lyrical Lemonade changed how I saw what could come out of an Illinois suburb.

ZINE COVER:

I wanted to put this art in your hands and show you the project behind it

As a kid, I was obsessed with this YT channel 'the slow mo guys'. I thought it would be cool and hilarious to shoot a video using phantom slow mo cameras to capture a large group of people throwing water balloons filled with different colored paints at me. I think it's a memorable visual.

I would be standing in a large field alone with a black suit, white shirt, black tie and red gloves (my outfit for the album rollout imagery). I used Virgil's 3% rule to design the outfit.

July 4th, 2026 I'll be releasing a 12 song project called The Misadventures Of Quad. The visual themes include glowing nostalgic visuals, trees, birds, Chicago, nature, water, childhood footage, paint, and locations connected to my life and story.

For the project I've used every cool technique or idea I could think of to make the absolute coolest music possible. I learned to trust my taste from Mr Rick Rubin himself and it's paid off for this project specifically.
