Dubstep & Funky cover for KPM Music House
September 22nd
Through my agency I was asked to create a CD cover for KPM Music House, which is the production music branch of EMI. All of their music is for use in the media, and is not for sale commercially. The brief was to create something that would immediately show to their clients what kind of music is on the CD by looking at its cover art.
Dr. No Packaging design
August 23rd
As I wrote earlier the other day, I've been doing some artworks for Dr. No Vintage Guitar Effects, and it has been a really great and fun job to work on. I've also been asked to create a vintage packaging design, which is getting some nice slikscreen printing today.

Please folow Dr. No on Facebook for more news on these amazing vintage guitar effects.
Dr. No Effects
August 1st
I'm currently working on the new artwork for six vintage guitar effects and packaging design for Dr. No. Here is a sneak preview of the 'More Gary' effect.

I'm a guitar player myself, and I have to say these vintage guitar effects are truly amazing and really take you back in time. All effects are made with the best components and materials that are available. Every stomp box is 100% handmade by Dr. No himself.
