Dax's visual art repertoire includes the original artwork for her album Pop-Eyes. The artwork was later pulled from the album after its first run, after some record stores cited it as "grotesque". The replacement cover art (which was later replaced by the original art, for the CD release) was done by Holly Warburton, who subsequently did the cover-art for Dax's albums The Jesus Egg That Wept, Inky Bloaters and Dark Adapted Eye.
