"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Greg for the past several years via the
COP International record label. His collage style artwork is beautifully layered & textured.
He possesses a unique ability to marry image with the music. It’s been fun to watch his style develop over the years.
Greg and I have discussed his deep & formative connection with the 4AD record label, especially during its heyday of the 80’s. He told me how the artwork and design of that label specifically, including many albums that I had produced, shaped his desire to ultimately become a graphic artist and to create record album covers.
It seems that everything has come full circle for both he and I."

"The first time I came across Greg’s artwork, it caught my eye immediately! It really gave me the feeling of a surrealistic, avant-garde atmospheric landscape of foreboding...yet ghostly images with a certain industrial feeling.
What I really like about his art is that the images have weight to them. His artwork and textures have a very tactile feel....it feels like you can reach out and touch it...like it's actually made of real substance.
Overall, I think Greg‘s images really fit well with music that has an atmospheric edge or a real alternative view. His artwork is very creative and substantial and its own view.
I would highly recommended Greg for any possible project that anyone might think of!"

"I've been making records for 40 years, and during that time, as you may expect, I have worked with some really amazing visual artists and graphic designers, whether they have designed record covers or posters or whatever else.
I became a fan of Greg's work after seeing what he had done for THE JOY THIEVES. His approach to the art is that of someone who is completely immersed in the project, instinctively pulling from the music and bringing an image to life...
His work is engaging, surreal and breathtaking.
I can't wait to work with him again!"

"Working with Greg brings the symbiosis which musicians are all looking for in terms of graphic design & artwork.
How does he do this? Presumably because he has something to say, something he needs to get out of his system. Surely this is the basis of all great art.
He just gets it. Highly Recommended."

"I met Greg many years ago when I was on tour in the US as sound engineer for Project Pitchfork. We talked a bit and connected through social media. Over the years, we chatted and the artwork that I saw from him was absolutely stunning. I realized that Greg was doing many album covers for different bands.
During the process of finishing an album for my ERMES | HARMS side-project, I asked Greg if he would contribute as a graphic artist because I found some of his really cool art that would totally fit to my music. He stood by his word and helped in every possible way to make the cover art absolutely unique and outstanding.
We were also very happy to use Greg for my own band GIRLS UNDER GLASS for the artwork for our latest release, "Backfdraft". I always recommend Greg to other bands and labels.
Brilliant art, very nice guy & always helpful...I love that!"

"Greg Rolfes is a legend in the industrial music scene, and rightly so. He’s done cover art on a multitude of records and manages to nimbly combine his own unique style and perspective with a deep respect and understanding of the musicians’ sensibilities and message.
He produces work that is both highly professional and highly artistic, and gets the message across to the audience with real vibrancy.""

"We were aware of Greg’s brilliant works for many years already. In 2022 we finally got in touch to discuss our new project, a new Girls Under Glass album. Greg was totally into it and very inspired by the album title "Backdraft“. He came up with so many great ideas that it was really hard to choose and decide which way to go. After we decided for a certain idea, he suggested and delivered several extra images that we could use for the album.
This inspired us to create an Artbook featuring Greg’s brilliant art and combine it with our lyrics, liner notes and private photos. The result is a 72 page Artbook...our absolute masterpiece!
We are so thankful for this inspiring collaboration.
Besides his creativity, Greg is a great person to deal with & we would definitely love to work with him again in the future.
Why? Never change a winning team."

"Greg did a great job on two of our releases, taking some very old artwork and making it new and vibrant. He restored the character of the release to what it should have been years ago.
We are very happy with the result."

"I've had the privilege of collaborating with the talented Greg Rolfes since 2021. He first impressed us with his innovative redesign of an IKON tour t-shirt, offering a fresh alternative design that showcased his artistic vision.
Since then, Greg has been an invaluable asset to our team, delivering stunning single cover art and even pulling off a last-minute stage backdrop design just an hour before our 2023 live show at Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany!!
We're thrilled to have him on board, appreciating his reliability, accommodating nature, and boundless creativity.
Cheers to Greg!"
