Casiotone for the Painfully Alone



Album Covers: Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Top: Vs Children (2009)
Middle: Etiquette (2006)
Bottom: Advance Base Battery Life (2009)

Even if you aren't familiar with a band, I really believe you should get an essence of their spirit from the album artwork. I love these charming illustrations, and they confirm Casiotone for the Painfully Alone's dreamy, rich and sensitive sound. Go check them out on Spotify... I did!

Beautiful Illustrations

Haven't posted for a while, but having got back to my beautiful home for the Christmas period, its time to get back on track! Just been scanning the net and came across Amy Dover. Using the simplistic medium of graphite pencil, her illustrations are detailed and dramatic. I love her work, and these pieces inspire me to draw... The horse is stunning. I love it when illustrators draw on to textured/used paper; i love the contrast between the layers and depth, against the perfect drawing. Check her website out here.
