When working on the artwork for Hazely’s debut album, “All Good Things” I was asked to create a stylised portrait illustration for the cover for one of the concepts. Taking the original photo below, I would set about creating vector strokes and layers, building up the layers before recolouring different variations.
Artwork
Mattmac – 20/20
Blind music producer and recording artist Mattmac has harnessed his melodic pop-trap beats and inspiring story, quickly establishing himself as ‘one to watch’ on the Canadian national scene with his debut album, 20/20. Mattmac’s premiere release features poppy vocals combined with hard-hitting trap beats, and thoughtfully honest lyrics that give listeners a glimpse into the […]
Mariame – Bloom
Mariame was one of the first Cree artists signed to N’we Jinan Records. The label reached out for me to create Mariame’s debut album artwork and promotional marketing material for her first official release. The project included not only the hard copy album artwork as seen above, but various other marketing collateral promoting the release […]
NorthStars – Dreams
I was commissioned to create the artwork for The NorthStars’ debut album, “Dreams” with their vision for the front cover to feature an image of the ‘dream tree’. I assume the tree holds important symbolism, meaning and stories within the First Nations Cree culture… and it was a nice, serene image to work with to […]
Ron Aven – Party With Me
Created for Ron Aven and his iTunes single, “Party With Me” which features Hurricane Chris. The single would also be produced as a limited-run promotional CD. Ron and his manager were looking for a 90’s style, vibrant summer feel for this cover to mirror the track. I created several versions along this theme, and this […]
Stefanie Parnell – Mountains Beyond Mountains
Stefanie approached me to put together the artwork for her 2014 release, ‘Mountains Beyond Mountains’. A stellar fusion of soft-rock, indie-acoustic and country music. My life was made easier with some great photography by Félicité Roy, and artistic direction from Stefanie. The result was a complimentary mix of pensive and calming imagery and simple typography […]
SRH – S.U.E.
Designed for SRH’s digitally released EP, ‘Series of Unfortunate Events’. Each track is represented by an icon for that specific song which were released as singles until the EP was released in full. I opted for eye-catching colours, making use of the bright RGB spectrum as this EP was only released digitally online. S.U.E. is […]
David Hodges x Apollo Brown – The Lifeboat Mixtape
David Hodges approached me to create the artwork for his 2013 mixtape release, a showcase of his vocals over Apollo Brown beats. The initial concept was to feature David in a boat at night, cast away on the waves with him supplying some of the images below as inspiration: I would go onto work up […]
Sonos Rebrand Advertising
In 2011, Sonos would under-go a drastic rebrand. They would move away from their white, applesque style to a darker, edgier look. I created various promotional marketing material for them, including print adverts for both the national press and various hi-fi stores across the UK. Sonos Advert for Simply Sonos appearing in Richmond Magazine, circa 2011 (Below) Sonos PLAY:3 Advert […]
SRH – Soulful Intentions
I’ve produced various artwork for numerous rappers over the years. When I was commissioned to create the graphics for SRH’s debut album and got to listen to his music as inspiration, it struck me that in spite of being young, this guy had a genuine raw talent. I was asked to put his rap moniker […]
