The Future's Open Wide (News)

20 April 2021

We've updated the cover art for 'Ricochet Days'.
Re-imagined art by Chris Bigg.
Photography on art by Marc Atkins.

Dedicated to our friend Vaughan Oliver 1957 – 2019

Vaughan Oliver designed this sleeve for us shortly before his untimely passing in December 2019.
We felt it was only fitting to release his work.
We have brought together Vaughan’s friend and long-time design partner Chris Bigg to finalize the art work and realize Vaughan’s vision.
We thank Marc Atkins (photographer) who collaborated with Vaughan for many years and worked on this sleeve and Vaughan’s wife Lee Oliver Widdows for making sure Vaughan’s legacy is kept alive.
