Sleeve cover art I drew for my joint NGADM Round of 16 entry with @DisOmikron.
As was the case with the previous Two Meeps sleeve cover, I drew this to process the feelings behind the song. There is a light and dark theme going on, where the same institutions that are bathed in light at the top are also mired in darkness at the bottom. It's pertinent, because I've drawn a handful of institutions where major scandals, abuses of power, and worse, have happened.
- Hospital: Lucy Letby, failures in whistleblowing, constant targeting of Black and Brown people for doing minor infractions while Letby got away with killing newborns for two years
- Post Office: scene of the Post Office scandal where failures in their tech led to many workers being falsely criminalised and imprisoned for fraud, a fair few took their own lives because nobody believed that their precious, precious tech could ever do any wrong
- Workplaces: #MeToo
- Bank: 2008 financial crash and other such things
- University: a fair few preventable deaths happened at universities due to their failures to act in the best interests of the student
- School: there have been enough school scandals need I say more?
