The brief

Low Tide are a four-piece who record live in a fishing shed. They wanted a sleeve that felt as handmade as the record.

What I did

I drew the sleeve with the record on repeat, one song per panel, then hand-lettered the title in a single take. The label art is the tide chart for the day they recorded.

What happened

The first pressing sold out at the launch gig. The band now sells the sleeve as a print, which I find very funny.
