:s 2ell as his music, Aye is famous for his 6ada influenced mixed-media style of art thatutilises airbrush, marker pen and collage, amongst other materials. This 2ork has adorned a
number of records, including the maority of 3oredoms releases and, perhaps morefamously, 3ecks #i"ite Vultures. ;imilar to the 3oredoms musical direction, Aye started
incorporating a much more psychedelic, calmer approach into his 2ork, evident on the
covers of many of the later 3oredoms albums. 6ra2ing as much from +apanese mythology
as it does from his musical influence, such as early punk imagery, his 2ork aims tocomplement the music as 2ell as to provide another dimension to the sound.
