Tell us more about this cover
This is a photograph of a 3d paper design of Dublin City I made. I mainly wanted to do something about the man who saved his rabbit from the Liffey last year, because it's lovely. So I have him diving into the Liffey to save the rabbit and then again on the bridge giving him a kiss. Then I just wanted to frame that with different little things from around Dublin.
How do you create your stuff?
I normally have some idea of the layout/theme I want so I start by collecting images, stories and textures that I like. After I've drawn everything up and it's all cut out I start constructing the larger pieces that the other bits work around (in this case, the bridge) after that I just play around with what looks good where.
Where can we see more of your work?
Dream Commission?
An installation in a massive space.
Who should design the next cover?
