What Can X~Ray Do For You?

If you're in a band or run a label, preferably making/releasing the kind of music I dig, examples include: Black Lips, Tuff Bananas, Boys Club, Busy Signals, The Flakes, Feelers, Black Time, Romance Novels etc etc. And you would like me to design a sleeve for you then get in touch. I operate on a 'I design the sleeve, you supply me with copies of the finished record, and any other loot you think my work and talents are worth' rate. So it's FREE you jerks!!!! See below for the current crop of happy customers.

Lover! Reverse The Curse

German label Red Lounge Records have put out the latest Lover! 12" platter in all it's gatefold glory. Again Mr Rich Crook supplied his ideas for the sleeve, and as you can see from his supplied initial sketch, I've followed it to the last detail! The sleeve is matte varnished and looks awesome! It also sounds great, the songs are catchy and stick in your brain!

Sweet Sounds, Sweet Sleeve

All praise Milwaukee, the power pop capital of the world. Home of the Sugar Stems and the sound of their sweet sweet music. OK here we have LP jackets for Bachelor Records in Austria, also released in the U.S by Dusty Medical, Dream On in Japan put out the snazzy card gatefold sleeve. So a multi national release, no excuses for you not to pick up a copy. My daughters used this LP to soundtrack a food fight, yep it's that good!

Holiday Snap Makes Blacktime Cover

Telephone Explosion have put out this 12" split featuring the U.K's Blacktime and West Coast dooder Ty Segall. Sleeve wise the Blacktime side had the theme of a shit British holiday, which works in stark contrast to Ty's sun kissed surfer riding those crazy white horses. The photo I used is culled from my dad who took this snap of me and my brother, I'm the one wearing the anorak and flares. This was taken on the 11th April 1976, so there. Punk!

Sweet Music

So you don't hear from a Wisconsinite for over a year then two come along at once, first the Gut Reactions, then The Sugar Stems! OK, I've got to admit that this is my fave piece of work I've done in a long while. Firstly I actually used a pencil to draw it, secondly it's FUN! Thirdly it's Jon E (ex Catholic Boys and all round power pal and tour buddy) and Drew (ex Leghounds!) And of course, last but not least, the band have been turned into a set of teeth that are having some serious fun, even with tooth decay. Great hooks abound in this fine release, available from Bachelor Records.

Gut Reactions~Bored

Jake (formerly of The Surf Ninjas) has a new-ish band, The Gut Reactions, who are hoicking up some fine punk rock 'n' roll splurge. I kindly got asked to do the front. So I photographed a rubbery alien that I'd picked up at a car boot sale a couple of years back. I liked it because it has a giant brain, a brain filled with BOREDOM! Sleeve done, this will be out on the Bachelor Records label.
