Cover Art for :(

:( or easier said 'colonopenbracket' is a Scotland-based Fake-Bit/Powerpop front with one previous album.

The second album titled 'World Wide Web' was released on Christmas day and can be digitally obtained here with cover art from yours truly. It f

eatures slower beats than earlier tracks and a noticeably more tongue-in-cheek approach to pop.

The front image was a combination of :('s ideas and nagging, my own work and a last-minute rush. Not only have I been a fan since my teens, it's probably my faveourite thing I've painted in a long time; and isn't the only music-related illustration planned for the winter.

Also, buy a T-shirt with the design on and support the music here! They rock.

Go check it out yo!

Fold Magazine

This week something exciting happened,

I got the first edition of Fold Magazine!

Fold is a non-profit, student run magazine that was very recently set up to unite the university of The Glasgow School of Art.

Fold is entirely reader-run and slightly unpredictable. Part student newsletter, part zine, part art review and then some.

I had the pleasure of illustrating Esme Armour's article on our University's recent and mysterious course 'Digital Culture' (seriously, nobody outside of it knows what it is). I didn't expect to be getting such a large space! It nestles amongst reviews for art shows, gig promotion, creative writing, a comic and much more.
