Hot on the heels of a video and photoshoot on Wednesday, artwork was put together yesterday for a new single by Yomanda (dance music producer Paul Masterson) and Toyah. The single and artwork were submitted to iTunes today for release on Sep 18th. Check out the artwork in the TOYAH gallery.

Well… it’s already the 2nd working week (and first full working week) of 2011. So far, we’ve been busy finishing off a number of projects that started last year as well as a few taken on in late December and early January. These include a number of internal communications projects for Stagecoach and Winter Sale materials for megabus.com. This week, we also kick off new website projects for Spark and Velvet, a new shoot with Saša Savić, artwork for the upcoming new album by The Humans and a number of digital music releases for Toyah (as well as an exciting 2011 tour identity)… and a whole lot more! I’ve also been working on a new portfolio book, collecting some of my work from my very first freelance commission in 2002 up to the here and now!

Here’s to a busy and fun-filled 2011…

The reissue of Toyah‘s 1994 album Dreamchild is released on Monday on Cherry Red Records (CMDRED451). I received my copy today so I could check out my expanded booklet and re-imagined front cover. This can be seen in the Toyah Reissues Program gallery.

asdesignuk has completed the artwork for the upcoming reissue of Toyah’s 1994 album, Dreamchild. The experimental oddity in Toyah’s career was written and produced, in the main, by Mike Bennett (The Fall) and saw Toyah step back from her usual role of primary lyricist and songwriter.

The new release features a new take on the original sleeve with expanded booklet, true to the original yet rejuvenated for 2010 and the diehard fan market. See the Toyah Reissues Program gallery in the Work section for more.
