Some packshots of Lovespirals’ new album, ‘Future Past’

Anji Bee of Lovespirals has just posted up some of the first shots of their new 100% recycled digipack CD album, Future Past. I’ll add some of my own as soon as my copy arrives in the post.

Artwork for the new Lovespirals album, ‘Future Past’

I just (actually last week) delivered the artwork for Californian ‘dreamy electro-acoustic indie pop’ band Lovespirals‘ fourth studio Album, entitled Future Past.

Lovespirals - Future Past

The artwork for the 6-panel digipack is made up from a mixture of hand rendered and digital type set alongside the photography of Susan Jennings.

Eco-friendly Lovespirals naturally insisted on green (not just the colour) packaging; the digipack is printed on 100% recycled stock with 100% recycled plastic trays, printed with vegetable-based inks and coated with water-based biodegradable varnishes, provided by Groove House Manufacturing in California.

Packshots as soon as I get the finished article.

Video titles for Blu Mar Ten’s ‘Natural History’ Youtube album preview (updated)

I’ve just made these video titles for Blu Mar Ten’s Youtube album preview, including a little non-narrative montage of some of the album artwork. It’s based on a full video promo for one of the tracks which is in progress now and should be coming in the next few weeks.

Now I’ve got about a week’s worth of A drawing A Day to catch up on…

Update 27/10/09

I’ve just been informed by Chris Blu Mar Ten that this video has received 2 ‘Honors’ on YouTube; one for being the the 75th most viewed in the United Kingdom and, perhaps bizarrely, another being the 81st most viewed music video in Russia. I’m not entirely sure what to make of that — and it’s all down to Blu Mar Ten’s popularity, make no mistake — but I think that’s good going. It’s certainly received over 1200 views in under 48 hours. I’m happy with that.
