What project for a band has taken you the longest to finish and why? The collage for AOF took a long while as i had to trawl through newspapers and cut out countless words and headlines, that was time consuming. Plus all the imagery took a while to obtain. City and Colour 'Little Hell' took the longest as a painting as it was just lines/dots which was brain numbing and it took a while for it to start taking shape. It’s hard to work on something that you don't really see becoming the thing you want it to be, that painting didn't really look right until it was 100% complete, so that was hard.

The third picture to the right on your homepage (The Gaslight Anthem) is fantastic, can you tell us a little bit about what the band wanted you to design, and maybe how this process was for you? That design was something i just did with them in mind and then presented it to them, they liked it so they took it, that’s about it really! We have worked together a few times so i have a good relationship with them. So the process was easy in terms of brief as there was none, i like to basically do whatever i want, that way the result is always better and i enjoy it more - it sounds kind of arrogant but if clients like what i do i imagine that’s why i get used, so it just seems natural that i do what i think works.
