MARCUS BUTT FOR EMI

Illustrator Marcus Butt was commissioned to create an album cover for EMI's 'Strong Neutral Pizzicato'. The sharp angles and lines in the work reflect the strong sounds within the 'Animated, minimalist pizzicato-string-led pieces with subtle mallets, woodwind and percussion' music.

Marcus creates bold, textured artwork. With a mighty impressive client list, his colour-rich images demonstrate his thoughtful and conceptual approach. Combining bold shape and line with visual metaphor to translate a strong message, Marcus plays with silhouette and shadow, all helping to form his graphic images.
