Todger’s third album, and their first full-length album with the full-fat electric line-up. Recorded by our good friend Anthony Chapman, I was struggling to come up with the right cover for this. Something humorous but rocking, evil looking but with a wink. After a number of false starts, I woke up one morning with a vision of this. Luckily I have some instantly game friends, and I thank Mr.W and Miss.P for their assistance.
Inspired in no small way by the recent Francis Bacon exhibit, I was excited to try a tryptic of my own and bring some narrative into the design in a way that I’ve not achieved before. Here is the front cover in context:
The back cover is particularly silly and makes a satisfying job of undermining any initial perceived seriousness in the front cover. The satanic halo I’m particularly pleased with…

Completed the album artwork for the new 50ft Panda EP - The Tribunal of Mr Shout. This is their second recording, and we went for a more esoteric, pseudo-mathematical, Illuminati symbolism, mystic conspiracy kinda feeling.

I have also updated the
50ft Panda site to match the new artwork. Huh!

Diefenbaker bootlegged their recent gig at Dragon Hall, part of the Norwich Fringe Festival, and it turned out so well they’re giving it away as a live EP.

Todger have been busy. They have been gigging like monsters, and so this document has been produced to immortalise the “interim” line-up, now that Nathen “The Artful Todger” Sparks has returned to reclaim his (drum) throne. I have provided the following ridiculous artwork for the live album. The title is, of course, a tribute to the seminal Peter Framton live album.

It is my very great honour to present my album art for Miss Kat Marsh’s new EP, which can be heard at her myspace. Kat gave me some clear pointers as to style, and Natasha Williams provided some great photos.
