Sketchie - Blood at Fox Willow Grove 12”
Sleeve design for Sketchie’s 12” EP; “Blood at Fox Willow Grove” on Lumenessence Records.
When I first met the recording artist Sketchie he showed me some ideas he had sketched for an album he was calling “Trouble in the Woods”. Taken by his drawing style I asked to borrow the sketch book to scan for possible use later on. Later, when it came time to design the sleeve for his first EP release I went back to these scans and found, tucked away amongst various versions of the “Trouble…” concept, a great little sketch of a rabbit.
After cleaning up the image and removing any overlapping lines from other sketches, I decided to simply feature the sketch in the middle of the sleeve surrounded by white space and then give the design a sinister twist to fit in with the title by having a blood splat on the rear of the sleeve. The blood splat is actually based on forestic test photos of blood splatter patterns.
