Open Wounds - Demo tape

My man Gijs from Amsterdam (who has since relocated to London) has been a huge support for me during several of my designs, helping out with suggestions and ideas. He got in touch and asked if I could do a design for his new band's demo, and I jumped on it. Rolling with the theme of open wounds I gathered a lot of gory shit and created these sometimes Carcass-reminding things (as on the front cover background) and othertimes just weird shit, like the background of the lyrics and the collage on the back of the insert. The design was screen printed with the colors separated.

Otherwise I did my usual thing, combining photoshop work with brush and paint. I played around with some different logo designs and came up with the W inside of the O. I also like how the written band name came out.

Correction - Weaken The Stronghold EP + shirt

Here's something I did for my own band Correction. The front cover and insert consists of various photos that I've scanned from books from the libraries in town, a sure way to get a lot cooler shit than a regular google search. I hand painted the logo at the top of the insert, and thought it looked cool enough to use instead of the regular logo from the front cover. The lyrics are typed on a real type writer but edited to not take up as much space. The a-side label is obviously a reference to Insted's classic LP "Bonds Of Friendship" while the b-side label is actually not a photo from a Correction show, but from when I sang a song together with Coke Bust in Berlin the summer of 2013, presumably it was Cock Sparrer's "Watch Your Back." The Xd up fist on the back cover comes from a local magazine form the city Vänersborg in Sweden from the early 90s, that had an article covering the straight edge scene in city. Vänersborg had bands like Outstand and Ultimate Concern and most importantly Start Today, and the record label and distribution No Looking Back was an importany hardcore hub around the time, releasing for example the first Nine CD "To The Bottom." I kept the paper all these years and found it suitable to use on this design.
