EMINEM THE EMINEM SHOW ALBUM COVER FULL
The full session that I did for Eminem - the fact that it’s two shoots and two concepts - I don’t know. Are you still going with that 1-2 combo in 2020? In 2012, you listed the Marshall Mathers LP as your second favorite album cover that you worked on behind Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt.

He was like, “Man, I was thinking I want to do one more shot.
I can’t wait for when we get back to see the session and go through it.” What we achieved out here was beyond comprehension. He pushed it and I was like, “Man, this is incredible. He’s going to be tired.” He’s in boxer shorts, combat boots and a trench coat being the fullness of the character that he was presenting as this Amsterdam version of Em. I was with him entirely, pushing and wanting more, but he one-upped me in this session.

We shot outside the pizza shop that he used to work at with people that he still knew from there. It kind of became this nice balance of Amsterdam and all of these lax drugs laws and all of these experimental moments that he was pursuing at that time to kind of ground himself.

We did a phenomenal session out there - really poured out hearts into it. That’s the only way we’re doing this album.” He happened to be performing out there and said, “This is going to sync up perfectly.” We have to all get on a plane and go there. Originally, this album was meant to be called Amsterdam. It’s really hard to put into words how important this album is for the world, for Eminem (and) for me.
