Made In Earnest

Big news at Made In Earnest HQ today as our design for the Nostalgia 77 And The Monster LP ‘Measures’ has been nominated for the Best Art Vinyl Awards 2014. As you can see above it is a slightly unusual design with everything on the front cover, but we felt this worked well with the […]

Here is just a glimpse of the artwork for the forthcoming Nostalgia 77 album (A Journey Too Far) and the first single from it (An Angel With No Halo) which will be released on Tru Thoughts.

A while back I designed a flyer for the Soulharmonic night and now that they are moving venue it is time for a update to the look. They seem to like it, hope you do too.

Just had the sign-off on a poster and flyer for The Greg Foat Group album launch. It takes place at Floripa in January and is a combined Wah Wah 45s and Jazzman Records night. The album itself is very good and is out now – and available on vinyl.

For The Jazz Meet posters I occasionally collaborate with illustrators and for the December poster I teamed up with Valencian-based duo Nuria Bellver and Raquel Fanjul, better known as Cachetejack.

It’s been a little while since I posted anything new, partly because I have been so busy with work, but as I have a chance here goes… This is the latest poster for The Jazz Meet and it features the brilliance of painter and illustrator Keemo. I just love his style and wish I could […]

Can’t say too much about this ongoing project at the moment, but I can let you see a sneak preview of the collage I am working on which will form the basis of the artwork for a forthcoming album. I’m making life size collages of the front, the back and the insert for the CD. […]

Pinch and a punch… and a new month means a new poster for The Jazz Meet. This one was done with Estonian illustrator Triinu Lille.
