How painful must it be to have your throat tattooed? 25th July, 5.30pm - ish.

other people's records

Here's my artwork* for Sarandon's new single, out on the Little Car label some time in the near future.
It's cracking stuff (I mean the record, not my drawing) - all itchy, scratchy hyperactive guitar riffs and, on the b-side, a caffeined cover of the Swell Maps' 'Vertical Slum'. I recommend all readers buy a copy, if only for the sheer beauty of the packaging, eh what.


*not all on my own, mind you. I had a bit of design help here and there, from both Sheran and Crayola. Thank-yuh, kindly, chaps.

And this chap wasn't necessarily using public transport, but I had to include him. He was dressed in a knackered old white suit, a white fur coat (slung over his shoulders) and carrying three white leather handbags, which were crammed full with all his worldly posessions. He'd finished off the outfit with a blood-red tie and was standing, stock-still, outside WH Smiths.
