Always is the second full-length album by the Howlies and was first released in 2023 under their previous name: Rex & the Howlies. They want to re-release Always alongside their upcoming third album These Days. They requested entirely new art for the album and a four-panel vinyl sleeve that could also be used for CD releases with few modifications.

Their frontman, Rex Jurilla, lived in Superior, WI for a few years, so I used this as a starting point for the art. I found some old photos I took while hiking in Amnicon Falls State Park just south-east of Superior that worked well in a two-color design. I used blue as the primary color to call back to the original design.
