In a house that’s since flooded’

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 sketch is inspired by the song ‘Elizabeth Lee Was Not a Witch’

After Elizabeth Lee was buried in Edmundbuyers graveyard, the locals became fearful that she would walk the earth again and punish them for putting her six feet under. So the church decided to bring her headstone inside the church. On the wall, above where the gravestone is now placed, they installed a stained glass window with the eye of god in the design, to ensure Elizabeth Lee never walks the earth again.
