Detroit Social Club

Neal Murren has been working with photographer David Hughes this month, and design studio Tappin Gofton, to produce the cover art for new Detroit Social Club single Kiss The Sun (out on Polydor).

He'll also be creating the illustration for their forthcoming album.

Si Scott

A group of designers have come together to help raise money for Haiti. Si Scott is one of the artists, and was asked to create a piece called Letters To Haiti.

Here's his response: In Kindness And Charity There Is Strength.

Rose Stallard

Rose was commissioned by the Guardian Guide to produce a feature illustration for a piece entitled Riffing Yarns. The theme? British Heavy Metal - a suitable subject indeed.

Sticking with the music theme, here's a new personal piece from Rose; inspired by Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister.

Natasha Law

Along with Julie Verhoeven and Richard Gray, Natasha Law has contributed to The Sunday Times Style magazine's fashion special, choosing her favourite trend for this spring: the leather jacket.

Here's Natasha on her choice.

"Like the revival of the short biker style leather jacket - worn '80s style with the sleeves rolled and pushed up to the elbow - but worn over longer layers of vests or t-shirts. Found this jacket in a little vintage shop in Paris, Les Abbesses district and loved the shape of it with high collar, puffed shoulders and pin tucks on the front. Plus very into the colour, the coral/band-aid shade of pink is all summer and heat... which we all need reminding of!"

Steven Wilson

This month Steve Wilson is working with Diesel in Italy on a new limited edition range that will be available online. That's all we can say at the moment but we'll let you know more when we can.

He's also been busy on the other side of the pond, working with Atlantic Records USA for the release of Estelle's new single Freak.

Revenge is Sweet

They were given the brief of creative factory. This led them to the idea of mechanical reproduction and repetition, and the industrial and creative boom time of 1920s and 30s. The result is a new wave of art deco pattern for 2010.
