Behind The Album Cover Artwork:

I’ve done a bit of research before creating the album art for I Carry The Flame. It’s funny, I wrote these songs and now I’m trying to figure out what they are all about. They came from my subconscious.

On the cover, there are three of me. 
The number 3 can represent self-expression, communication, creativity, optimism, and joy. The number 3 is a powerful creative force that amplifies our thoughts, words, and emotions. (Through the amplifier let the healing begin) as I sing in Down To The Wire. 

The number 3 is associated with creativity, communication, joy, optimism, and curiosity. It's also known as the "creative communicator" or the "number of joy".

People who are drawn to the number 3 are said to be imaginative, spontaneous, and have a natural gift for communication. They may also be drawn to artistic pursuits, such as writing, acting, or designing.

I read there was an ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras considered the number 3 to be the perfect number, representing harmony, wisdom, and understanding. It was also the number of time, birth, life, death, beginning, middle, and end, making it the number of the divine. These are themes running through my record.

 

The Single Flame represents to me, tranquility and contemplation

The light of a candle can help me access deeper states of tranquility and contemplation.

 

Fire is a symbol of inspiration for me and I am most definitely inspired.
