• Record sleeve - amsterdam beat club 10 years anniversary album

    Amsterdam Beat Club is an event organised by Ir. Vendermeulen, in effect the ‘Night Major’ of the Amsterdam I Love. His events are 50’s and 60’s inspired dance evenings with bands and acts. When he brought out a compilation album with bands that played on his events, he asked me to do the art direction and graphic design. The photo’s are taken by Myrthe Ter Mate and the models are dancers of Amsterdam Beat Club

  • Record sleeve - West Hell Five

    Artwork for West Hell Five, an Amsterdam based spy fi jazz combo. The photo is made by Mirte Ter Maten and to keep it real, the title is, James Bond style, projected on the girl. No photoshop here peeps. (well the photographer obviously did some colour correction)

    Inside was a gigantic poster of the lady with the gun. On the back side of that poster we see a spy fi novel drummer Wilf Plum wrote on pages ripped from a book. The book has a hole in the middle hiding a gun.

  • Record sleeve - cardboard people

    i designed this cover for Cardboard People, an Amsterdam based New Wave Rock band. Unfortunately they did not like it, but I do, so that’s why its here for you to see 😉

     

  • Record sleeve - Gainsnord

    Gainsnord is an initiative of the Dutch DJ Guuzbourg, who coined the term ‘Zuchtmeisjes’. He asked several Dutch bands to make a cover of a Gainsbourg song – the Spinshots chose ‘Qui Est ‘In’, Qui est ‘Out’, which became the single of the album.

    For this record i had the honour to work with Dutch well known comic artist Hanco Kolk, who made the beautiful portait of Serge for the cover.

  • Record sleeve - gainsnorth

    When Guuzbourg asked the Spinshots to contribute a song to the cover-album ‘Gainshorth’, a tribute to Serge Gainsbourg, he also asked me to do the design for the records. That is, our single and the album itself. He already asked Hanco Kolk for the artwork, so I could work with one of the greatest comic artists the Netherlands have to offer.

  • Record sleeve - cool buzz compilation sleeve

    Cool Buzz was a ‘Blues’ record label from Amsterdam. i did a lot of their record covers, and when they brought out a compilation they asked me to paint a bee in an ice cube. It seemed like a good idea, so I did it for them.

  • Record sleeve - Bernies Lounge sleeve

    Bernie’s Lounge was a latin crossover funk band – they wanted to communicate their ‘street credibility’ through the artwork, so I made stencil portraits of them.

  • Record sleeve - nasmak sleeve

    Nasmak was a band that made lots of demo tapes on cassettes somewhere in the 80s. When they brought out these tapes in 2019 (!) Joop van Brakel asked me to do the sleeve design. I loved what they made and did the design like i would have done in the 80s: with a typewriter, punaises and glue. The cover is just a photo, everything is really glued and pricked there.

    The cover illustration with the meat flag is made by the illustrious band member Joop van Brakel, in co-operation with Rembrandt.
