Firstly, I apologise for not having updated my previous website for the past couple of years or so. I’ve been so busy designing and creating artwork for people’s CDs and records that I simply haven’t managed to find the time to do it! I’ve not been resting on my laurels as for the past few months I have also been doing a lot of artwork and production jobs for Southern Records, updating my web skills, translating sales information from German into English for a leading German independent label and also learning Dutch (Ik vind dat de Nederlandse taal zeer mooi is en hij is niet so moeilijk te leren!). For quite a long time I’ve been hoping to get around to designing and building a new website. I’ve still not managed it, but in the mean time, I decided to create this page so that interested parties can at least see what I’ve been up to and what I’m capable of.

To the right are some of my current favourite CD cover designs. These are mostly fairly recent ones which didn’t appear on my old website. Click on the images to view larger versions.

Meandering along underneath you’ll see some of the projects for which I’ve created artwork, such as the recent expanded reissues of early Current 93 titles and also the Subhumans back catalogue. Again, click on the images to see these in more detail.

I hope to keep this page more up-to-date than was the case with my old site. I have a few web projects in the pipeline so I will hopefully be able to add some of these in the not too distant future. And who knows, maybe I’ll get around to creating a whole new website for myself at some point, but that depends on how much work people give me! If you’d like to join the ranks of people keeping me gainfully employed and therefore off the streets, please use my contact form to request more information or a quote.
