Created for Christa Couture and Kayleigh Trace, Little Deaths is a performance salon that revels in the charged space where desire meets mortality—where bodies become portals, endings shimmer with magic, and pleasure is its own kind of prophecy. My task was to build a visual identity bold enough to hold all that heat.

The illustration (and custom typeface) centres on a flame that is unmistakably erotic: a blooming, shapeshifting form sparked by a single match. It suggests hunger, ritual, surrender—an image that can smoulder or ignite depending on how it’s used. Supporting elements like the open matchbook, sinuous curves, and a fever-hot palette deepen the tension between seduction and danger, intimacy and spectacle.

Because the event demanded versatility, the artwork was crafted as a modular system—something Christa and Kayleigh could pull apart, remix, and reassemble into posters, social graphics, and stage materials without losing an ounce of its pulse.

The result is an identity that feels alive, tempting, and deeply primal—perfect for a night where sex, death, and performance blur into something unforgettable.
