‘I’ll eat beans when
The moon’s full
My dog lies on
Her back legs curled
With me under open skies’

‘Neolithic Song’
Durham, Come Save Me
Faithful Johannes
Out 3rd July

This month, in the lead up to the ‘Durham Come Save Me’ album launch, I’ll be sharing some of the ideas and sketches that led to the final design of the album artwork.

Most of these are me just getting ideas out of my head and onto the page, so expect extremely loose, quick drawings that haven’t been polished very much, if at all.

Today’s sketches are inspired by the song ‘Neolithic Song.’ Sketching the rhythm and flow of the curled up dogs was really satisfying to draw!

The line ‘I’ll eat beans when the moon’s full’ provided me with with my first concrete idea for the album cover. I love the thumbnail of a tin of beans in front of the full moon.
