Seattle artist Jesse Higman, recipient of a 2009 Mayor’s Arts Award, has designed the album cover for Heart’s new disc, “Red Velvet Car.” The band’s first studio album in six years is due Aug. 31.

Higman, who was paralyzed at 15 by a car accident and wheel-chair-bound ever since, received a degree from Eastern Washington University, where he studied art, English and philosophy.

Higman used hand sketches and 3-D modeling software to create the classic-car grill motif for the Heart album.
