Can you dig it?




After my annual viewing of The Warriors I searched online for the US movie tie in paperback. During the search I discovered a set of bubblegum cards had been produced but I found these lacking. Deciding to right this wrong I created a 32 card set of “Star Wars” style bubblegum cards complete with inane descriptions and featuring all the key moments in the film. For those with eagle eyes the boarders contain illustrations central to the film. Can you dig it?

Scott





The recent Scott Walker Prom reminded me of a longtime quest of compiling my "ultimate" Scott Walker compilation for my iPod. Taking this further it was decided to create the sleeve for said compilation in the style of a Phillips album from the late 1960s.

Dear Prudence



Siouxsie And The Banshees had an amazing run of singles between 1978 and 1983, containing everything you could want from a pop single. Dear Prudence ended this run with some great psychedelic phasing which made the summer/ autumn of 1983 even more magical plus the video was great too. Taking influence from the latter it was decided to create a print and card celebrating this. The print comes in an edition of 25 copies which are signed and numbered are available here.


The illustration is also available as a limited edition birthday card which can be purchased here.

Dig! Bubblegum Cards



Despite its brazen editing ‘Dig!’ is a brilliant film. In fact I was so enamored with the film that I watched it solidly for a year. Re-watching it a decade later the narrative suggests a more passive agressive Monkees. Taking this thought further it was decided to recreate ‘Dig!’ as a bubblegum card series. Using style cues from the Star Wars cards of the 1970s the cards contain inane descriptions together with quotes making the series the ultimate bubblegum experience.

She Just Satisfies




Jimmy Page's solo single from 1965 is a freakbeat-tastic treat worthy of The Kinks. It also costs a small fortune to purchase an original copy. Luckily for those of us without limitless resources it was reissued for Record Store Day this year. However the repro Fontana sleeve was a very sorry looking thing so it was decided to give it the lovely European picture sleeve it deserved. The raison d'etre being in this parallel universe 'She Just Satisfies' was reissued in 1967 with a current picture of the Yardbirds era Page. The rear of the sleeve features other Fontana artists worthy of your inspection.

My My My



Eno in his post 'Roxy' finery, last but one of the 'marber grid' prints. Available here with lots of other goodies
