American illustrator, photographer and film director Matt Mahurin has confirmed that he'll be designing the artwork for Muse's forthcoming album, Drones.

As DIY reports, Mahurin confirmed on his blog that he'll be "doing the photography, illustration and designing of the package. I will also be doing some motion work that will support the still images."

He continued, "The album title is Drones - a word offering a dark and intriguing exploration of the potential virtues and abuses that come with control, responsibility, and purpose."

Mahurin also revealed that he's had a face-to-face meeting with Matt Bellamy and Dom Howard, and has been sent lyrics to the songs and listened to some tunes.

The artist's previous credits include designing albums for the likes of Tracy Chapman, The Ramones, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson and Tom Waits. See a few of Mahurin's most famous works below.
