Here’s my submission for the ‘Cover Band’ group show at Gallery 1988 in LA.

The brief was to pick a favourite album from Rolling Stone’s ‘500 Greatest Albums’ list and to ‘collaborate with the original cover art’.

Mine is the classic ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ (obviously!).

There are loads of great artists involved so it should be an amazing show. Very exciting…I wish I could go!

This is the cover of the LP ‘Electronic Frank’ (great name!) by Lee Jones, the main creative talent behind MyMy. It was the first of the 3 to be completed and a starting point for the other 2.
A link to the label to listen to the album is here.

Safari II/III

..and this is the second release and the 3rd in the series. It will be called ‘Soon’ EP (I think)….I don’t know what it is exactly – there are hybrid antelopes that look like this but the stripes are very faint and only on the haunches. It’s a kind of Gerenuk. Or like a half Bongo, half gerenuk.
