Mike Cina designs sleeves and limited edition prints for Ghostly International sub-label, Spectral Sound

Mike Cina, one of the brains behind the prodigious YouWorkForThem design collective/ store/pretty-much-anything-else-you-can-imagine, is the artist of three gorgeous new 12″ sleeves for Spectral Sound.

Cina’s original 12″ sleeves displayed both a neo-classical and an abstract beauty in their immaculately composed, eerily evocative forms, while marking a new era for the Ann Arbor-based label. The three covers represent a new breed of Spectral talent including Kate Simko, Sami Koivikko, and Cologne-based duo Daso & Pawas. All of Cina’s recent work for Ghostly/Spectral was on display at Ghostly founder Sam Valenti IV’s home gallery this past month.

The covers are rendered as Giclee prints, which are created using professional 8-color to 12-color ink-jet printers. These impeccable printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets alike.

Each individual print is hand-numbered (in an extremely limited run of 40) and signed in the bottom right-hand corner by Mike Cina. The prints are available online at The Ghostly Store alongside shirt designs by Cina.

    I don’t care for the first one too much, but the second & third are amazing!

    I’ve been eyeing these for quite a while but just can’t justify the expense right now. At least I have the corresponding music which is excellent as well.

    That last one is so textural I wonder how much is digital and how much is hand done? Mike’s an awesome guy, he came and talked to my class last year and gave me a poster which is currently hanging in my living room.
