Here are another two recent record covers I’m pretty proud of, both following a paper theme:<\/p>\n

The Hospital Mixtape series has been a bit of a puzzle since it started a couple of years back because despite it being called ‘mixtape’, there’s a certain discomfort with cassettes behind The Purple Gates. That means it’s down to me to find a way to think alternatively about tapes.<\/p>\n

This year the mixtape was put together by S.P.Y, so I took the raw and minimal production finishes from his last album Back To Basics<\/a>, and set about mixing them up. I got the knives out and ended up crafting a 1:1 scale cassette tape out of reverse cereal box and ribbon. I even made a cardboard case for it too, for the ongoing messy desk imagery used in the series.<\/p>\n

A bit of careful photography and a lot of retouching later, it all came together.<\/p>\n

Hugh Hardie is a new Hospital signing. For his debut EP, titled ‘City Soul’, I drew a very rudimentary skyline and chopped it up into something a lot more abstract. I had recently bought myself a slightly mad paper circle cutter<\/a>, and this proved the perfect job to take it for a spin. <\/p>\n

The textures came courtesy of logarithmic graph paper from my grandpa, excess ink from Etherwood’s Blue Leaves album project<\/a>, and a copy of The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon (which I thought was appropriately city), ran through my increasingly temperamental photocopier.<\/p>\n

The whole cover then got a bit of explosion treatment on the back cover.<\/p>\n
