Bestival Poster Design - Bat for Lashes

Here is my entry for Bestival and Screenadelica's poster competition. I chose to design my poster for Bat for Lashes.

While researching the project I drew inspiration from Natasha Khan's videos (Sleep Alone in particular) and her visual look when performing live. I was fascinated by her appearances with wolf-like imagery and masks and wanted to take that further by combining it with ideas of the solar system, as well as the face paint shapes she wears.

The Shining City on the Hill

Last month I designed a book cover for Caroline Collier's The Shining City on the Hill (now available on Amazon in print and kindle edition too)

If you were interested in finding out about the book, here is the blurb:

Exceptionalism gives us the idea that we, both individually and as a collective, operate above the rules due to our extraordinary virtues. Americans have supposedly been called from beyond the stars to exert our honor on the world around us, but does this grandiose self-assessment blind us to our potentially fatal flaws? The Shining City on the Hill is contemporary fiction at its most compelling, a novel about the paragon of civilization, a free society open to all who wish to do good ... at least this is what they believed ... The powerful echoes of a city groaning under its own weight ring through the lives of a dozen troubled Texans. Over the course of several sweltering August days, the burnouts, undocumented immigrants, policemen and families cross paths, never realizing that profound suffering unites them all in unexpected ways.

SOCK Fair 2012 - Loughborough

This year's SOCK fair in Loughborough was pretty good. Plus it was nice to be brought back to loughborough roots. My friend Clare Pentlow had some of her paper craft work there (all cut by hand by the way, no laser cutters involved!) - Spirograph sensation. Here are some pictures:
