Design & artwork for print in Norfolk
Having fun with “Illustrator” for the illustrations and design of the new Western Star records release. A compilation of 25 tracks of rare and unreleased recordings from Western Star Recording Studio called “Rockin’ at The Lost & Found”. You can’t beat a bit of pink ‘n’ black for a rockabilly record cover!!!!
I do a lot of work for Western Star Recording Company in ‘Wild West’ (well Somerset actually!). Loads of really cool rockabilly, psychobilly and rock ‘n’ roll bands record there and every now and again they release a themed compilation which requires a themed cover as opposed to one representing a specific band which is always fun. The brief on this one from Alan was a bunch of cool guitars floating in space. So here we go, all done and dusted and with the pressing plant for release in a few weeks time.
The Bullets are a seriously hard rockin’ and tight 3 piece rockabilly outfit on the Western Star label and I’ve been lucky enough to work on artwork and pre-press several of their releases now. This is the latest, it’s a 13 track CD album which brings together all the tracks from their 3 vinyl EP releases on Western Star plus a new bonus track

Western Star compilation now off to the pressing plant for Halloween release. “Sounds from the Haunted Jukebox – Songs that go bump in the night” compilation CD features 24 rockabilly and psychobilly recordings from the Western Star Recording Studio all based on the darker side of the labels output. Songs about werewolves, demons, witches, vampires and zombies. Just my sort of thing. I got full reign over this packaging job including the illustration work which is great because the meeting of rock ‘n’ roll and horror pretty much sums up the pursuits of my whole life!
I have recently been working on the packaging for this new album for another of psychobillies great originals still terrifying audiences today. Great cover art which ties in with their rockin’ 10″ vinyl I got to work on a little while back for Western Star. Now with the pressing plant and soon to be released on the unsuspecting public like some hiddeous beast crawling from the unconsecrated soil
