Pilgrim St - Album Cover

 

Good lads Pilgrim St have recorded a new album. Like their last album, Ash Into Gold Dust,  they asked me to get the thing ready for production. They had all the work done, artwork, photos, the lot. But this one looks very different indeed. They had some artwork drawn by David Muyllabret and I put it all together. Very painless job that looks distinctive. A joy to work on.

Oisin Leech - Album Cover

 

 

I've been doing work for the Lost Bothers for a while now. So when Oisin did a solo album he asked me to help put the cover together. He decided on using paintings by Sinead Smyth, one on the front and one on the back. We had Sinead's whole catalogue to choose from and Oisin went with the two on the cover. In fact I can't really claim any design work on this album other than assembling it. Sinead's work is beautiful and the album is going down very well.

Davie Fury - Single Cover

 

Davie Furey released this special one-off single in December 2023.This was a collaboration with writer Richard Ball, who wrote the lyrics. Richard approached me to do the cover. I immediately thought of the beautiful wild flower artwork that Jennifer Lawton creates.  I pitched the idea and he loved it. The 3D and shiney nature of her work made it difficult to scan or photograph. Luckily the print process was very forgiving and the CD turned out great. Davie liked it so much he asked me to do his next album, see next post.

Davie Fury - Album Cover

 

After doing a single cover for Davie Furey he asked me to look at his next album cover. The single successfully used some of Jennifer Lawton's artwork so I thought it was only right to use her art again for the album. Above is the vinyl cover version, the text is slightly larger on the CD.

Perlee

 

Album launch poster for Perlee from April of this year. All the lettering on this wasp together from a scanned lyric sheet that was used inside the album cover. That is to say, it's not a dumb font! It is scanned text that was originally typed using the actual typewriter featured on the album cover. Team effort. Check out the album too, it's absolutely great. AppleMusic link. I put that cover together too.

The Middle Ages Single Cover

 

I can turn around work quickly and easily for other people. But when it's for yourself... This is a cover for a forthcoming single release from the band I play in called The Middle Ages. This cover looks simple but there was so so many drafts before I settled on the above. The black paint is significant. This song will be out on all the platforms in a bit.
