Secret 7”

The Secret is unveiled:
I’ve been signing contracts, picking up keys, packing boxes, and preparing to move for what seems like an age. However, in amongst all this I managed to fit in creating a recordsleeve for Secret 7”. A fantastic event from Universal Music to promote vinyl, record store day, some amazing artists (both musically and visually) all to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

7 bands/musicians offered up a special single which was then interpreted by illustrators and designers who each created a one off print/original piece of sleeve artwork which were displayed at Idea Generation Gallery in London until Record Store Day when they all went up for sale. 

The artist roster included hundreds of names from legendary sleeve designers and illustrators through to anyone who got involved with a multitude of competitions to get involved, not forgetting your average working illustrator (me) guys and girls from the cancer charity and some from the bands themselves.

All the artwork was secret up until it was sold, along with the track details, giving the whole project an air of excitement and mystery.

Myself, Ben Tallon, Kingsley Nebechi and Matthew Hollings worked together a a Quenched Music group, each producing a response to a specific line in Ben Howards Black Flies.

There are too many great artists involved to mention all my favourites here so get on: www.secret-7.co.uk and check out all the sleeves.

If you bought my sleeve please get in touch, I’d love to know who it ended up leaving with.

Update

As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve neglected blogging. 

Sorry, normal service will be resumed once I have: Moved home again, completed some ongoing projects and found the time to sit down and type. 

The next post is a drawing of a beaker. I hope it makes up for my absence.

Happy Halloween

A belated happy halloween.

Been a bit busy moving home, settling in and getting back to a decent routine of creating everyday, plus some ongoing jobs keeping me occupied mean this blog’s been less updated than I’m sure we’d all like.

I have nothing particularly ‘finished’ to post, but I did a few halloween themed warm up drawings yesterday using some life drawing sketches, which I’ll put up in a photo set below this post. There will be more ‘finished’ pieces on the way soon though.

If you fancy owning any of the warm up pieces get in touch.

Here’s a moving card:
