I almost love this intricate album illustration more than John Mayer himself (ha I’m joking John).

I am also more intrigued by the pencil sketches than the pristine final piece. You can really see the mind and the hand working together.
David Smith is a tra­di­tional orna­men­tal glass artist. Since 1984 Dave has been cre­at­ing some of the most beau­ti­ful signs in the UK. Recently he was com­mis­sioned to design the cover art for the Born & Raised album from John Mayer. Here is a short doc­u­men­tary show­ing Dave’s process.
