Design & artwork for print in Norfolk
The Western Star 10″ vinyl collection so far … naked!! I’m sure there’s plenty more to come. Unfortunately you don’t get the full effect of the translucent vinyl while on the floor but I couldn’t think of a better way to show them off!!
I Finally got around to doing something today that I keep putting off but is really quite essential; my “Website Examples” page on my business website. It’s been a lot of hard work and I set myself the goal of listing 100 websites I have created along with preview pictures and links. When I counted up I had actually listed 103. For each one of these websites there is probably another one I have forgotten about (as it’s hosted elsewhere) or has been upgraded or just deleted as businesses come and go. After 17 years you work on a lot of different jobs and systems, some not even public. Anyway, if anybody is feeling bored or if you’re genuinely interested in asking me to do some work and would like to see some examples then please pop along and have a browse…

(Please remember that not all websites will be super wow amazing as they are all created to varying customer’s budgets, just contact me if you have any questions)
Great to get enthusiastic feedback on the work you have done. I just had this passed to me by Alan Wilson of Western Star sent from Darrel Higham who collaborated on the album…
“The artwork is superb and the whole thing looks terrific. I know Alan would’ve been absolutely thrilled with everything you’ve done for him. It’s greatly appreciated.”
I’ve been involved with the production of CD, vinyl and DVD packaging for well over 20 years now, on around 400 separate releases, and in that time had the privilege of working on packaging for many of my favourite bands from growing up as part of the rockabilly scene (Restless, Sharks, Meteors, Caravans, Polecats, Frenzy, Stray Cats, Crazy Cavan, Matchbox, Wild Angels, Shakin’ Stevens, Shakin’ Pyramids, Screaming Lord Sutch) but this one is a real treat for me. The Long Tall Texans have been a fave band of mine since forever and we got to support them a few times with our own band over the years in Norwich, Leicester and Stoke-on-Trent, but I never worked on any of their releases. Their releases regularly featured absolutely awesome illustration work by the fantastic Geo Parkin (“Aces & Eights”, “Saturnalia”, “Singing to the moon”, “In without knockin'”, “Gotta Go”, “Texas Beat”, “Five Beans in the Wheel”) and this is another great. With such great illustration work, my part has been purely doing the boring stuff like typesetting, layout and pre-press but none-the-less, I’m really chuffed to have contributed.
It’s a great feeling to know you have worked in partnership with other companies consistently for many, many years. In web design one of the biggest concerns I hear is; “if I ask you to look after my website, how do I know you’ll still be able to look after it in 10 years time?”. It’s all about customer confidence. Of course nobody can say for sure what’s round the corner but you can look at the history of a business or tradesman to get a feel for their reliability and loyalty. Here’s another customer I have been working with in various design projects since 1986 🙂
