IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE ONE


New album cover I finished last month for Cultures of Soul. This is an amazing underground, Atlanta disco record by Tommy Stewart. Can't wait to get my copy of this on wax.

I've done a few covers for these guys now and funnily enough a pattern is starting to emerge, last time it was Ancient Astronauts, this time the book of Genesis re-thought, lots of interesting myths and theories with a disco back beat.

Here are the labels I designed for this 2 record set.

I will be doing a giveaway or two when these couple records come out, so stay tuned. And apologies to people who won posters on the last giveaway, they are finally going out this week. Promise!

UGGH AUTHOR PHOTOS!


I always cringe when I'm asked for an author photo, especially since it's for kids picture books and you don't want a photo that looks too creepy or sinister. I usually go for pics of me where I'm not smiling, have sunglasses on and look quasi-criminal.

Thankfully my wife Lydia is a good photographer and after taking about 100 photos we go this one, and I like it as much as I'm able.

The best part is that the background is made of spreads from my new book before they got sent off to the publisher.
