and as an aside...

...I've also been Nick Harper's artist of choice since 2004.

Nick Harper: “The Man Who Plays Guitar Like He’s Wearing God’s Underpants” as some music journo dubbed him many years ago. I knew him from school and used to hang around at VE band rehearsals. It was fairly evident even then that they weren’t just “some 6th form band”. There was something a bit special about them.

And as it happens, I was right. Nick has since carved out a very successful solo career spanning five decades, 13 studio albums and various live, compilation and single releases and, much to my joy and dismay, he asked me to do the artwork for his 2004 album Bloodsongs. 

And then in 2005 he asked me to do Treasure Island.

Fast forward to 2024 and I’ve just finished all the artwork for the vinyl and CD releases of Earth Day Blue.

I guess I must be doing something right 🙂
