Artwork for new Arborist album

I was delighted to be commissioned by Arborist to make artwork for the 4th album ‘Looking for Love’. Inspired by Airfix kits and the writings of Ciaran Carson, this handmade linocut print on Fabriano Rosaspina cotton paper, uses motifs and references from Mark’s lyrics as its subject matter. 

I’ve heard the album, and it’s great. Released on 16th October 2026.

Pre-order on LP/CD/Digital Download via Fika Recordings.

Irish and UK shows in Oct/Nov, see arboristmusic.com/tour for more info.
