Design artwork for Laura Marling

"The Beast" By Alan Dalby

The wolf was a fitting depiction of 'The beast' because of humans' connection with wolves, both traditionally and in folklore; particularly the human transformation into werewolves. Wolves can be both caring and savage in nature, reflecting the clear divide in personality of 'the beast' that Marling is so clearly attracted to. I depicted the wolf in isolation, allowing the listener to fill the void with the imagery of the lyrics.

About this Creative Invite

Secret 7’’ are inviting creatives from around the globe to take inspiration from Laura Marling’s track, The Beast and design an original 7 inch vinyl sleeve. Between 30-50 winners will be selected. One copy of each design will be produced and exhibited in East London for over a week in April. The project culminates on Record Store Day when the 700 one-of-a-kind vinyl will be available to purchase, with all of the profits going to the charity Art Against Knives. None of the buyers will know who created the sleeve, or even which song it's for, until they are holding it in their hands - the secret lies within. Check out the other artists part of the Secret 7'' project: Public Enemy, Jessie Ware, Nas, HAIM, Nick Drake and Elton John.
