Whimsical Winter Holiday Album Art

I'm seeking a creative artist to design a fun and whimsical CD cover for a holiday album. The cover should capture the essence of the winter holidays, including Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, and other wintry fun. The title is: "Beth & Ritt's Holiday Survival Kit". As this is a holiday album, time is of the essence. We were so focused on the music, we woke up late to this extremely important need for cover art. Here is a link to our music if you'd like to listen: [login to view URL] Key Requirements: - Design should be fun and whimsical - Winter holiday theme (not limited to icicles; open to artistic interpretation) - Must work for both streaming services (3000 x 3000 pixels) and physical CD printing - Imaginative input is highly welcome; collaboration encouraged - Should be simple enough to read in small formats (e.g., Spotify) but charming on a physical CD - New Yorker cartoon vibe preferred Ideal Skills and Experience: - Strong illustration and design skills - Experience with holiday-themed artwork - Familiarity with digital streaming and print-ready dimensions - Ability to conceptualize and execute whimsical designs - Proficiency in graphic design software - No AI, please. Hand drawing only. We're including our live show poster, which we made with a combination of a real photo of the four of us who are the main performers, and a mockup we did with AI out of desperation, but may be informative. This is a human album, and we want real humans representing us with their art. Please provide a portfolio with relevant work. Thank you for your consideration.
