NEW WORK! Excited to be able to show you the new album I've designed for @hauschkamusic.
'Philanthropy' is out on Oct 20th via @CitySlang.
Starting in 2007, i believe this is the 9th album I've had the privilege to work on with Volker. I love creating the visuals for his music
NEW WORK! ‘Living In Colour - The Art of Scott Hutchison’. This is an amazingly special project to me. Over the last year I’ve been working with Scott’s family, the @FRabbits fans and @FaberMusic curate and design this book collecting together his amazing artwork!
I'm immensely proud to have been involved, and am really looking forward to everyone immersing themselves into this book. You'll spot lots of beards and spoons and lightning bolts & more than the occasional severed hand, but without question you’ll see Scott's genius everywhere
It is released on July 13th via Faber Music Publications, and you can pre-order now here linktr.ee/livingincolourbook

Third year in a row that Transport For Wales have chosen to fell trees during nesting season. Really disappointing. No objection to the works needed doing, just the lack of compassion for wildlife at this time of year. @WGTransport @transport_wales @RSPBCymru @NatResWales
'Pedestrian Verse' by @FRabbits TEN! I can't believe its been that long already. I'll always remember this as one of the most involved but enjoyable album's I worked on with Scott and the band. To mark it's 10th birthday I've designed an expanded edition inc. 2LP/CD/7"s/T-Shirt
NEW WORK! Out today on 130701 / @fatcat_records is the beautiful new album 'Esthesis' by Clarice Jensen. I loved working with Clarice again to create the design to visually explore the albums concept of 'Chromesthesia' whereby sound involuntarily evokes an experience of colour
A few months ago I designed a t-shirt to be worn by the amazing group of volunteers who raise awareness & money for @tinychanges while litter picking at the Glastonbury Festival. For a ltd time they're making a slightly different design available to buy square.link/u/6mQh6Ap9?src=s…

I recently did a wide ranging interview for @OurCultureOC covering the story behind the artwork for selection of artists and bands I've worked with over the last almost 20 years. Thanks so much to @konpappis for asking me to do this and putting together the piece.
