#WIP Been busy constantly blowing my nose (2.5 weeks and counting 🤧) - and now rotoscoping banana fingers juggling loo rolls for a #JollyPessimistic lyric flip book.

Here’s the new album cover design, based on a previous supermarket-carpark-sketch-illustration - now with added toilet roll panic buying! The next task is to try rolling back some over-zealous vocal de-essing, and (runny nose permitting) re-singing a couple of tracks.

15th September: #WIP #JollyPessimistic After drawing lots of plastic chairs and the beginnings of a band I ended up putting this composition to one side, though I should be able to use it for something else album related. I’ve since been revisiting a #supermarketcarparksketch

31st August: #JollyPessimistic Some crops of album cover rough workings - I think I’ve settled on a faux-lithographic cut-out approach. The band are only naked because I hadn’t drawn any clothes yet… though with a raging apocalyptic fire in the background, maybe it’s a little on the warm side? 🤷

Realised 10 full comics would take forever, so I’m back to an illustrated lyric book. Rough sketch for Feeding Time - a song about the state of UK politics. Banner reads: Serve with honour or you will be served cold. 🦁
