Secret 7" 2015


My sleeve for The Chemical Brothers' 'Let Forever Be' which depicts a researcher investigating a Buddhist statue that had a mummified monk inside it.

Here are the four designs I submitted to this year's Secret7". I was absolutely thrilled to get a design through again, for The Chemical Brothers' Let Forever Be, and even more thrilled to see it sell on the day (and to have gone to a great home, by the looks of it).

It's a great charity, and consistently does exemplary work for their chosen charity. It's fantistic to see them grow every year, and I'm honoured that I've been able to be a small part of that journey for the third year running. Year-on-year, my work for Secret 7's gets better, and I'm really looking forward to taking part next year.


A picture of my friend Kate Dowling's dog Bella, done for Underworld's Born Slippy. The song was named after a greyhound, a fact which a huge number of contributors seem to have picked up on.

For St Vincent's 'Digital Witness' I drew a secretary bird and added a background based on  a predominant colour in the video to the song. Like with greyhounds and Born Slippy, I get the impression that a whole slew of contributors used the same colour. Also, no idea why I drew a secretary bird -- it just felt right, and looked good.

I found out that 'Maccabee' is Hebrew for 'hammer'. So for The Maccabee's 'Go' I drew a horrendous visual pun based on the band's name.
