Recent artwork for The Preachers

Lately i've been involved with Sydney band The Preachers creating artwork for both their upcoming '66 Project' release as well as for it's recording wrap party, last night (01.06.11) at Low 302 Crown St Darlinghurst. Involving a recording process over six months with the objective of creating six accomplished recordings, The 66 Project consists of largely self-produced/engineered home recordings by the band's members as well as in some of Sydney's most well-accredited studios including BJB's Quad Eight Room and 301. The project also sought to reach out and involve a varied collection of artists and designers including Saint Augustine Academy, Tara Cook, myself and many others. Below is the poster for the wrap party as well as the front and reverse cover of the album art l made which the band reproduced with a copy of the album into a limited run of one hundred copies as a special free give away at the party last night. The seemingly lo-fi analog recordings pieced together from various studio and home recordings contributed to the hand-drawn aesthetic on my part, the band seemed pleased with the visual translation. It was a very busy and exciting night to a band that have well earned their loyal following!
