This piece was created for Upstate Mojo’s initial four song EP, Just a Rough Sketch released in November 2020. The image features two of the bands founding members, Ryan Knaack (L) and Packy B. Taking the nature of this being their initial EP, the EP title, the characteristics of the photograph, and of course the band’s sound (!) — I created something grimy, something with some attitude and something with a lot of style.

Check out the EP here and the band’s insta here.
