My guess that the artwork is credited to R•DYER STUDIO, a risograph printing and graphic design studio based in Brussels.
Quite possible. But is it your guess, or did you find any proof? Like, did they show this work on their website?
I found a note crediting the Riso printing of the cover for a different release by Promesses to R·DRYER STUDIO, but the design is by others.
Oh right. Let me know if there’s an answer to a riddle.
