Iekk! Sounds from Spain are about to put out this seven inch by Rich Crook's Lover! When I was contacted to work on this Mr Crook had a specific idea in mind for the sleeve, in his words "would you consider the artwork for one of the covers being a woman or small girl alone in the woods looking very scared with evil eyes in the bushes staring at her as if they want to kill her."
The black and white version will be for the limited edition single, the skull represents that something very nasty has happened in those deep, dark woods. Gulp!
Pretty scary stuff, I illustrated the background and gave it a moonlit glow, my friend Lucy Shaw provided illustrations of the gnarled leafless trees. The victorians provided the etchings. To date this is the most illustrated sleeve I've done and hopefully it has brought the nightmarish visions of Lover! to life!
