Commissioned for the cover and associated advertising of the band Blur's album, 'Blur: the best of' in 2000. Created using photographs of members of the band, the images are 'digital drawings', conveying essential information with the minimum of detail, reducing the subjects to black outlines and unmodulated colours. The prints were produced in four sets, each one differing in size, and therefore unique.

• Medium: c-type prints on paper laid on panel
• Dimensions: each: 86.8 x 75.8cm
• Grant Paid: £12000 ( Total: £12000)
• ArtFunded in: 2001
