I’m immensely proud to have been a part of the design collaboration on this album, working alongside my old friend DLT, as well as members of Mogwai and [PIAS]. 

The logo and typeface took influences from Amanda Church’s painted tile aesthetic along with elements from the art nouveau era.

The Music House label needed some visual standout on their new releases to cut through the ocean of competition within KPM’s vast roster of in-house music library labels.

Inspiration was taken from 1950s and 1960s minimalism, exploring how muted colour and abstract shape can visually represent instrumentation and sound of musical genres. By combining a distinctive diagonal feature alongside a simple typeface we created an engaging and unusual flavour to the collection as a whole. Another collaborative effort with DLT.

The concept was based upon the look and feel of a 1950s Scrabble board, but with a contemporary twist. Another collaboration with the highly talented DLT.

An album of beautiful library arrangements from the supremely talented Harpist, Mary Lattimore.

The artwork is based on minimalist 50s artwork, visually exploring ways of displaying forms of a Harp in an abstract way.

An E.P. cover for my band Attention! All Shipping. I designed a rubber stamp of the artwork to produce a limited edition set of merch stands at our gigs.

Looper Canoodles was a musical project born out of lockdown isolation and longing to play live music. Over 60 sessions were recorded and posted out to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.
