32 hours on Photoshop later and I think I’ve done a good job. Although not technically illustration, these compostions of over 60 photos/scans/drawings constitute the artwork of an 8 page CD cover booklet for Death & a Cure’s latest album. It’s a bit of a sneak preview as the album isn’t out just yet, but it’s some of my most ambitious work in years and I can’t wait to get it out there.
Lucky to have worked on this fine project. Lead single from Perth based Death & a Cure, The Endless Escape, which I got to illustrate and design. There will be an album launch in Perth soon, followed by a multi-date tour of the US. Get all the pesky details and have a listen at his myspace.

A very rewarding and personal project. Glad to have been a small part in one of my favourite ‘Perth’ bands. Although they endured a slow, cold death on the high streets of East London, they were once a fire that burned brightly on an all too small platform. I remember the fire, but didn’t think I’d be the one to watch it die. Like someone decorating a funeral urn, I was honoured to do the work, but it was all a bit sad. I think everyone who had something to do with this had the same feeling. A beautiful, haunting yet dark album that knows it’s the last of it’s kind.
Some work I did a while back on a website for Melbourne based label Hooked Up Records. So if you want to explore some new sounds, go have a look see here.
If you’re a designer/illustrator or anything like that, you’ll be used to creating logo’s that journey off to a client hopeful and happy only to come home sad and disappointed. That logo then finds it’s new home at the back of a disused backup drive where it sits depressingly replaying the moment it missed it’s shot at ‘Big Time’ over and over again. This is one of those logos.

Co-produced and written by my lucky self, The 10 Step Programme is now coming to a climactic close. Have a peek at the others if you need. I’d rather work backwards though. Adds a nice angle.
Bored? Online, but don’t know why? Well, change all that by becoming a fan of The 10 Step Programme. Each episode (or Stepisode) features our hero Tim Winston trying to get one step closer to winning the girl of his dreams. This Australian, lo-fi and slow building e-rom-com-indi-series is starting to win fans worldwide and, like the Bon Jovi song, is only half way there.
I don’t know whats going on with this one either.
