Visual Artist for Vol. 085: Mental Wealth
JARED SYLVIA
Orlando, Florida
With bold colors, psychedelic imagery, and inventive use of textures, Jared Sylvia's style is a perfect fit for album art. Familiar symbols like evil eyes and endless corridors feel familiar, but his use of neon colors and detailed speckling make each figure jump out from the image like you're seeing it for the first time. But Jared's worlds aren't simple send-ups from the age of blacklight velvet posters. Digital art is also reinterpreted and recontextualized within his surreal worlds, adding a sense of timelessness and mystery to his work.
We're not the first to see the music-pairing potential in Jared Sylvia's illustrations. He's previously worked with musical behemoths such as the Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N Roses, and The National. Jared also enjoys working with companies to establish branding and visual identity. You can find his work on NFTs, shirts, hats, and much more.
