Lane 8 Details How His Own Kids Created the Artwork for New Album, “Childish”
Who needs expensive design firms when you can just recruit seven-year-olds to do your graphic design?
Lane 8 is celebrating last week's release of his wondrous new album, Childish, the cover of which features a goofy cartoon face made out of Perler beads. In a new thread looking back at the creation of the record, the deep house superstar opened up about how its artwork was created by his own kids.
The influential deep house producer, whose real name is Daniel Goldstein, explains that the title "Childish" had merely been an idea until he saw his children making crafts on a Sunday morning. At that point, one of the creations made him realize that he and their mother had landed on the album's concept and art.

The artwork and Perler bead designs created by Goldstein's kids were then used to formulate the music video for the album's titular track. Check out the whimsical video, which was directed by Patrick Atkins, below.
