About me
I am a graphic artist who has been working in the music industry since 2004. I create and art-direct all kinds of record and album artwork and campaigns, but would love to branch out beyond music!
Projects
  • NHS300 - Appendix (Monograph)
    NHS300 - Appendix (Monograph)To close out Hospital Records' twentieth year in business (and to mark the 300th release in the main catalogue), I created Appendix, a hard-backed, 12x12" 180-page monograph of the visual side of Hospital Records. This charts the early days of medical puns and photoshoots in disused hospitals to today's world of cinematic party music and optimism.
  • Post-it Book
    Post-it BookI began collecting my post-it drawings into a book over a decade ago. Drawing on post-its was a great way to remind myself that I can draw, as the are small and disposable enough to not feel bad when it goes wrong! In the time since then, I have filled up multiple books of notes, and as a way of keeping myself creatively limber, I publish a new post-it note (usually a visual pun or other bad idea) to my social networks every single day, which I have been doing consistently for several years now.
  • Clean-up In Sector Six
    Clean-up In Sector SixThis is an artwork I created for a Sci-fi poster competition. It is about a crack team of robots who are sent out into junk orbit to collect all the dead satellites. They're cleaning up the space junk and recycling the parts for their raw materials.
  • Superflat Illustrations
    Superflat IllustrationsSome superflat illustrations, mostly personal projects
  • Are We There Yet?
    Are We There Yet?Hospital Records' CEO Tony 'London Elektricity' Colman titled his 2015 album 'Are We There Yet?', and asked me to come up with a concept for a deluxe edition of the album. As part of a vinyl box-set including gatefold 2xLP, CD and custom moulded USB key, I created a series of twelve postcards (one for each track on the LP) and a map, each designed as stops on the journey of 'Are We There Yet?'
  • Hospital Mixtape: S.P.Y
    Hospital Mixtape: S.P.YHospital Records has a mix series called 'Mixtape', but everyone thinks cassettes are clichéd again, so for this project I tried to subvert it by crafting, photographing and retouching a cardboard cassette. The aesthetic and colour palette follow on from S.P.Y's last album and the design language builds on previous years' Mixtape albums, both of which were designed by me too!
