Alphabet's Heaven Digipak Cover

Front and Back Cover
Inside Cover

CD Design

This is a comission I have completed recently for an EP cover for a musician called Alphabet's Heaven (I bet you couldn't tell, all that name being everywhere you look on this post...). It was a lot of fun to do, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The EP music itself revolves around a bird called 'Jay' and a journey he embarks on, and the characters he meets along the way. Whilst the characters did appeal to me, I thought I'd try and keep the illustration simple and 'designery' (I made up a word), so I focused more on Jay himself and the beginning of his journey. I'll let the music do the talking.

The inside cover and disc does have more information on it, but not wanting to be some kind of crazed, information sharing lunatic, I took the information off for this post.

I hope you like it!

Tobacco Road Album Cover

The above is a cover I have recently done for a rockin' band called Tobacco Road. The one below is a variant I did...slightly more abstract I feel, but the one at the top was the chosen, final design. It was very weird for me to do, I don't usually do portraits so I was a bit scared to draw the band (I love drawing people, but as soon as they want a likeness to an existing person I begin to tremble) but hey, it worked out much better than I thought it would and it was a great experience to give it a go!

I'm gunna be doing the ol' rite of passage travel around Europe for a month in two weeks time, so I'm gunna try and post quite a few things before I go, just to give you something to digest whilst I'm away (don't worry, I'll have my sketchbook and will be brimming with art and ideas when I get back!).
