I've started designing the cover art for each track on the Brinkmann Flag album. Relationships to places both urban and rural, and how locations can conjure their own stories, is a running theme through the album. Three of the draft covers below – Stead, Spaghetti Northern and Ketsu – feature the pine woods and beaches of England's Sefton Coast.
