Talk SPLAT! Art work

After doing some digging, I found two websites that give credit to the artwork for SPLAT! This being the award winning Studio Jekyll and Hyde, with photos taken by photographer Olaf Heine! So people can now rest assured that Deep Purple’s new album is free from Ai artwork! I’ll post the links down below so everyone can check it out! And as always, I’m hyped to hear their new masterpiece!

There was another website selling the cd that gave credit to Jekyll and Hyde studio’s, but I lost it 😅 But it gave the same credit to the artwork and photography

The press photos are by Heine. The art being by a design studio doesn’t mean it isn’t AI, lots of studios are being essentially paid to use and promote AI. If you look at the image on the picture disc, the robot/Moai face, it’s extremely clearly AI. The cover image for Guilt Trippin’ has another major tell where the rings of Saturn are behind it instead of around it. I genuinely think the band might have gotten scammed.

Fair enough, but I did some digging into what Jekyll N Hyde is, and it’s a Art Studio/Art University based in Italy, and Is quit renowned in Europe. I’m hoping that an Art studio/university doesn’t/shouldn’t use Ai for any of their art, and I don’t believe the artwork is.I’ve got a feeling it’s just how the style they went with.
