CHAIN
Somewhat reminiscent of 1930's "Race records" graphics. They sent them for 10 long years on the chain gang, and out of that came the classic "Black and Blue". I designed Chains' Toward The Blues album cover in 1971.
JO JO ZEP AND THE FALCONS
It's a hot summer night on the Esplanade. There's the sound of rootsy R&B and riffing brass coming from St.Kilda. I designed JoJoZep & the Falcons' Screaming Targets album cover in 1978.
BILLY THORPE AND THE AZTECS
I reworked this illustration to make the King of Sunbury even more cosmic. I don't think he's crazy at all. I designed the Aztecs Hoax is Over album cover in 1971.
SPECTRUM
You're sitting in this tiled pub, right? and you realise you've been staring for 20 minutes at the smoke from a cigarette in the ashtray. Mike and Bill can do that to you. I designed Spectrums' Milesago album cover in 1971.
DADDY COOL
I wanted this illustration to look like the front cover of a dope comic. It's based on their unforgettable 1971 concert at the Melbourne Town Hall and I hope I got the clothes and guitars right. I worked on the 'Daddy Who' and 'Sex Dope Rock'n'roll' covers with the talented Ross Hannaford.
LITTLE RIVER BAND
A reworking of an illustration I did for the inner sleeve of an LRB cover. The band use the platypus design as their logo in the U.S. Elevate the ornythorincus, I say. I worked on most LRB covers in the 1970's.
SKYHOOKS
Quite possibly every mothers nightmare in the 70's. But then again, you can't judge a man by his shoes. The Skyhooks logo is lettering I did for their 'Ego' album cover. I also designed 'Straight in a Gay Gay World' and 'Guilty Until Proven Insane' in 1977.
THE DINGOES
It's way out west where the rain don't fall. What a great album. If you can't see any lettering on this one, could be that a dingo ate it. I designed The Dingoes self titled album cover in 1974.
