 This was a lot of fun to make. No clue if people here will appreciate it or not. (It is, after all, quite colorful, and that rarely works in my favor on this platform.) But this looks a lot like the sort of artwork that some of my favorite deep house artists use for their ambient LPs. The artist and album here are completely fictional, of course, but I was imagining a sound like what you might get if Nora Van Elken remixed Daft Punk at a dive bar.

There are two underlying source captures. Both were shot with my phone, but the image data corresponds to the capture used to create the background, which is a circular overhead light fixture in a pedestrian courtyard my wife and I stumbled across on our last date night--generously warped in processing and overlaid with light leak and dust/scratch overlays to give it a cosmic feel. The moth happened to land on my car window as I was leaving work one afternoon, and the backlighting from the sun gave me some nice details to work with. So I experimented with some deep processing to create something psychedelic to match the cosmic vibe of the background.

I can totally see this as an album cover.

Love the border, especially the lower left corner. Brilliant.
