Bjork Crystaline

Some more fantastic work from M/M Paris for the latest release from Bjork. Just pop over to her website to see a new way of browsing, again the design is by M/M Paris aided by the technically astounding Jam3. The new logo is beautiful, refined and works perfectly with the imagery, part note, part eye, part planet! It's a bit hard to pin down like Bjork herself.

If that wasn't enough the Icelandic songstress has also invented a new instrument called the Gameleste which features in her show Biophilia which is currently at the Manchester International Festival, (as is Damon Albarn's Opera Dr Dee), anyway here is a video of the Gameleste being made.

Will Ever Pray progress

Just got these in my inbox from Justin at Front & Follow. The printers, one69a have just finished screening the card sleeves and are just about to get cracking on the lyric sheet/poster insert.
It's nice to see it come together. More pics as they arrive.

Arcade Fire

This new Arcade fire album is released this week with, wait for it 8 different versions of the cover artwork. The sleeve design was created by Canadian illustrator and designer Caroline Roberts who also did the artwork for the bands  live DVD 'Mirror Noir'. For the new album she has also produced a great screen printed linen bag (with a great lozenge logo) which would be perfect for carrying your vinyl version of 'The Suburbs' about in.

I have been lucky enough to catch the group live on a number of occasions, the last time was in London on the Neon Bible tour. Here are a few picture I took on the night. If you get the chance to go and see them don't hesitate!

Outer Circle

Just finished another papercut illustration and poster design to promote a series of concerts happening in London, Manchester and Bristol in September.

Math can be fun…

A sneek peak of the latest release from eclectic label Front & Follow. This is a poster for the 'Long Division with Remainders' box set. The look of the release was based upon old analogue computer punch cards and my own memories of GCSE maths.
