I was going through my archives, and I found the original files I used to create the album cover for Just A Band’s first album, “Scratch To Reveal”. I still meet people who ask me how the arm was done, so I thought I should post these bits and pieces up.

Album artwork for Just A Band’s second album – 82.

First single from Just A Band’s second album – 82, shot with the help of friends.

I forgot to post this rather sketchy animation I did for TRNSMSSN. Accompanying track from an unreleased Just A Band demo – “The Light Fantastic”.

A bird? A plane? A carbon-neutral F-16 disguised as a friendly-alien-carrying UFO? Who knows?

Here’s another piece that showed at TRNSMSSN – “2012″; a piece that was inspired by the hardcore photographs that Boniface Mwangi (who makes us studio guys look like wimps) took of the violence that happened in Kenya after the 2007 General Elections.

I’m of the feeling that we haven’t learnt much from what happened (we still have internal refugees two years later), and there’s a general feeling that when we go back to the polls in 2012, it’ll start all over again because the people in charge (”Honorables” Kibaki, Raila and their friends) didn’t lose any of their family or property in the violence, they don’t see what the big deal is.

I fervently hope not. Fingers crossed?
