Album covers


CASEDesign album covers without using any titles or artist names. Made for War Child’s Secret 7”.

SCISSOR SISTERS - RETURN TO OZThe album cover below was painted with acrylic paint on a 50x50cm canvas. The song reminded me of old 70’s progressive rock music and early Bowie, so those old album covers were a big influence for this. I wanted to portray something magical, bizarre and welcoming, yet with a sinister undertone.

This album sleeve was printed and put on display at War Child’s Secret 7” exhibition in London and sold on auction.



SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR - DEVOTIONThis album cover was illustrated using ink pen and then colorized in Photoshop. This song felt joyful, energizing and bright, so this made me wanting to create something with a warm feeling of magic, love and sparkles.




THE CURE - WARSONGThis cover was made using a mixed media technique of photography, photo manipulation and ink illustration. The song felt very dark and melancholic to me, so I wanted to portray a bleak sense of hopelessness and desolation.
