I recently did a wide ranging interview for @ourculturemag covering a selection of the artists and bands I've designed album artwork with over the last 20 years.
(Link in my Bio)
We talked about all the different people I've been so lucky to be able to collaborate with and the ideas and working methods behind the artwork.
Albums discussed include those by Giddy Motors, @mumtheband , @vashtibunyan , @thetwilightsad , @frabbits , @wwpj , @gregoryandthehawk , @maxrichtermusic , @hauschkamusic , Nina Nastasia, @mogwaiband , @agnesobel and others.
Thanks so much to Konstantinos Pappis for getting in touch and asking me to be involved and for putting this piece together from the long conversations we had.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY @thetwilightsad !!!
Their new album ‘It’s the Long Goodbye’ is out there in the wild today on @rockactionrecs !
Here are a selection of details from the artwork I created for the album, singles, posters and everything.
This is the 6th album I’ve worked on with Andy & James since 2006, and I couldn’t be prouder to be involved in making the imagery to go with their stunning music!
This album really is something special... Go have a listen, especially go grab a physical copy on vinyl or CD from your local independent record shop or from their merch table.
Who’s spied our billboard poster outside our favourite venue in the world @barrowland_ballroom
✨We’d love to you standing beside it if you’re in Glasgow - send or tag us in your photos.
✨Bonus points if you get your photo taken beside it with your copy of IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE this weekend!
IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE out this Friday on @rockactionrecs . Pick up your copy via the link in our bio or head along to your favourite local record store

NEW WORK! Out today on @rockactionrecs is the brilliant new single by @thetwilightsad ‘Attempt A Crash Landing - Theme’.
This is the 3rd single to taken from their forthcoming album ‘It’s The Long Goodbye’ that is out on March 27th.
I illustrated and designed the single cover to fit alongside the first 2 singles and the album artwork.
Once again, it was great to work alongside my friend, the bloody talented @casey.raymond , to create the animated video for the single!
NEW WORK: Unbelievably, it’s been nearly 20 years since I first started working with @thetwilightsad on artwork for their releases!
I can’t put into words what an amazing honour it is (and how important it is to me) to continue working with them over all that time, helping to build the visual world their brilliant music lives in.
Today, their sixth album ‘It’s The Long Goodbye’ has been announced to the world. It’s out on March 27th on @rockactionrecs . Go and pre-order it now!
Here’s a small selection of the various elements (Vinyl/CD/T-Shirt + Tote / singles) I illustrated and designed.
Just before the end of the year, I want to say thank you to all the bands, musicians, record labels, and everyone else I’ve been lucky enough to work with in 2025.
I’ve had the chance to design the artwork for some amazing albums again, and playing a part in the creative process behind them is always so special to me!
Here’s a selection of my favourites. If you haven’t heard any of these albums yet, I thoroughly recommend giving them a listen.
NEW WORK! Today sees the release of the new @thetwilightsad single ‘Waiting for the Phone Call’ on @rockactionrecs - AND the announcement of a UK/European tour in 2026!
I’ve worked with Andy and James on the bands artwork for nearly 20 years now! They’re some of my favourite people and they make some of my favourite music. It’s always exciting to be able to continue to evolve the visuals alongside their ever-evolving sound.
I’ve designed and illustrated the cover artwork for the single and the tour poster.
This time I was also able to work with my good friend @casey.raymond on an animated video for the track too! He did a brilliant job to bring it all to life!
Go have a look at the whole thing at: https://youtu.be/P9zuO-aYhik?si=sU7OO9ctDQ7ZiYrR
NEW WORK! Out today on @130701records / @fatcat_records is the beautiful new
@claricejensen album ‘In Holiday Clothing, Out of Great Darkness’
This is the 3rd album l’ve had the pleasure of working on the artwork for with Clarice.
This time I illustrated a portrait of Clarice based around and inspired by her stunning hand drawn visual scores!
I can’t recommend her music enough. Do go and have a listen!
Heir of the Cursed is the debut album by Scottish-Kenyan musician Beldina Odenyo (1990–2021).
Over the past few years, it has been an absolute honour to work alongside Beldina's sister, Leah McAleer, piecing together the album’s design, helping to ensure that the music, words, imagery, and spirit Beldina left us with can still be released into the world.
Tomorrow, 30th August — Beldina’s birthday —, an amazing line-up will gather at Mackintosh Church in Glasgow ( @mackintoshsociety ) to celebrate the posthumous self-release of the album and to perform her songs.
The album will be available at the gig on 2xLP Vinyl and CD, and also via heirofthecursed.co.uk. Both formats include a booklet featuring photos and Beldina's handwritten lyrics and illustrations.
If you're in Glasgow tomorrow, come along! It will be special!
NEW WORK! Happy release day @cloth_band ! Their amazing new album ‘Pink Silence’ is out today on @rockactionrecs .
It’s been an absolute joy to work with Rachael and Paul again on the artwork for their new album!
The design is based around the brilliant photos of the band by @sandra_ebert . I created a new hand painted logo and typeface that we’ve used across the artwork!
The album has been on heavy rotation around here over the last few months and I can’t recommend it highly enough! I can’t wait to hear these songs live!
