El Mars- Album cover

Raimonds Gusarevs, the Latvian folk music legend, asked me to design his debut album cover.

The album is amazing, truly beautiful. The cover I did is a ship made from coloured textures, the CD a close up of the same. Go get it. I drew him too, just for fun.

ATHLETE Outsiders 10 inch EP

The band ATHLETE, no longer with Parlophone records released a limited edition vinyl 10 inch EP. I did this two colour screen-printed cover for them. The almost illegible design actually reads OUTSIDERS. Read it and weep. Much respect to them for no logos anywhere, God bless you sirs.

HAVANA GOOD TIME!

Last summer 2008, I was part of an exhibition Commissioned by Havana Club Rum and Intercity, the exhibition at Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, showcased 100 artists interpretation of a bottle of Havana Club cuban rum.

For my piece, I formed a band- Los Rumbanditos (The Rum Bandits) after drinking down the rum, we then wrote and recorded a song "Are you havana good time?" Heres the record covers. This work was featured in Creative Review no less. Good times.






LOVEBOX 2008

"Lovebox is an annual event where music and hedonism mix with a passion for carnival, art, food and drink."

Lovebox 2008 featured Sebastien Tellier, who much like myself, is a man who knows how to share his love with the people . Sadly I was unable to attend but I was given the opportunity to design a poster along with 19 other artists, to be displayed and sold at the event in London. Keep on loving.




YO MAJESTY!

Christian, lesbian hip-hop duo, Yo Majesty are amazing. I did this for them as a pitch, still waiting to hear something back from them though. Those ladies are real busy I guess. CHECK THEM, ITS WILDSTYLE!

ATHLETE album cover

I designed a limited edition screen-printed poster for the band ATHLETE, the design was well liked so I went on to work with Big Active to develop my design into an album cover.




ATHLETE limited edition DVD

Easy there compadres. Heres some shots of the DVD Big Active made for ATHLETE, I did the illustrations for your viewing pleasure.




ATHLETE singles

Heres the two singles ATHLETE released under Parlophone before they split with them. Tokyo and Hurricane. The second picture below is the original drawing that I used for the final design.



I was a teenage hand model

This was good times to draw. I love Queens of the Stone Age so it was a pleasure to draw the mix-tape thing for them in Dazed & Confused magazine. I have done a few pieces for Dazed over the years but this is my favourite. Wild pleasures.
