Album campaign for Parlophone band Dirty Vegas. The series of sleeves features paintings by New York artist Richard Phillips. Using magazine ads and gentlemens magazines as his source material, Phillips created a series of large format paintings which bring to mind hand painted murals and billboard art. A number of images were selected that seemed to sum up the idea of ‘Dirty Vegas’. Album sleeve nominated for a Grammy, ‘Best Album Artwork’ category, losing out to a sleeve for the country-girl music trio The Dixie Chicks.
