I had the immense pleasure of creating the cover art for Alcest's 7th album, "Les Chants de l'Aurore". Neige asked me to reinterpret Sydney Long's beautiful painting "The Spirit of the Plains".

Neige and I have known each other for a very long time and he really wanted us to collaborate on this album. It was a perfect artistic meeting 😊
Awesome work you did on this!
Thank you for your kind words ⭐️
(And I adore the Sydney Long — it’s magnificent in person, but so cool)

Out on the plains, the brolgas are dancing
Lifting their feet like horses prancing…
