Cover Art

Uncropped cover art

Rob Sheridan posted info about his design process, as well as an uncropped version of the art, to his Instagram account[1]:

This is the uncropped cover of @nineinchnails’ #TheHandThatFeeds 2005 single. Created with damaged scanner glitching techniques, and hand-drawn digital pixel linework. The digital lines that ran throughout the #WithTeeth aesthetic were inspired by low-res scientific graphs and data imagery, but for this piece I took them in a topographical direction very much inspired by Joy Division’s iconic Unknown Pleasures album cover.
