Overview
For TIME, the tenth studio album from Your Old Droog, we developed a sculptural album artwork rooted in collage, texture, and found-object storytelling.
Drawing inspiration from Peter Beard’s layered journal collages, as well as the surreal tactile quality of Burnt Weeny Sandwich and Pick a Dub, the visual direction embraced imperfection, decay, and unexpected composition.
The result was a handcrafted timepiece sculpture assembled from vintage clock faces, gears, and salvaged mechanical parts — creating a chaotic yet intentional centerpiece that became the photographic foundation for the album campaign.
The Concept
The artwork explores time as both structure and disorder — mechanical, emotional, and fragmented.
Built entirely from collected vintage materials, the sculpture was designed as a physical object rather than a digital composition, allowing texture, shadow, and imperfection to shape the final imagery organically.
The visual language balances nostalgia and abstraction, reflecting the layered and unpredictable nature of the album itself.
