Seeking a visual artist for album artwork

I am looking for a visual artist who can bring my album artwork to life by August 1.

I'm releasing an album titled "War Stories" in September. It's full of songs about hard things - romantic drama, friendship betrayal, medical trauma, family troubles. The theme here is "all the hard stories we don't talk about".

My visual idea is a bedroom that looks like it's exploded/recently burned, and I'm sitting on the bed in the middle of the room ... with my guitar and a notebook, writing a song. I'm open to this visual looking very photo-realistic or being a little more "artistic" (I would just want it to be recognizably a chaotic bedroom scene and me in the middle of it.)

I'm thinking this could happen one of two ways:

1) I take a photo of myself on a bed with my accessories with a lot of the bedroom visible, and partner with an artist who can take that photo and make the bedroom look like it's really been through it.

OR

2) I take a picture of myself on a bed with my accessories and leave the whole scene up to the visual artist I partner with, and then that artist will just cut me out and paste me into the middle of the messy scene they've created.

I have two reference photos I can send you upon request, I just don't see a place where I can upload them with this job description.
