Queens of the Stone Age:
In Times New Roman

Role: Creative Director / Film Director


After six years of silence, Queens of the Stone Age returned to a post-pandemic cultural landscape radically different from their last album cycle. Band leader Joshua Homme was emerging from personal and collective darkness with an appropriately brutal record—one that, despite its nihilism, ultimately carried a message of love: embrace those closest to you as the world falls apart.

Working closely with Joshua, we developed an “End of Empires” visual language—marrying apocalyptic grandeur with contemporary stylings, like if Nadia Lee Cohen or David Lynch made dark comedies about the fall of Rome.

We launched dozens of social teasers to fuel buzz and PR momentum, followed by an official album announcement, an absurdly over-the-top tour reveal, and a VHS-filmed mini-doc paying homage to Heavy Metal Parking Lot.

I wrote and directed all the pieces. The album was critically acclaimed as a return to form and was nominated for a Grammy.
