Music
My taste is so eclectic that it would be impossible (and very dull reading) to list all the musical forms / musicians I like. However, lots of them are the artists featured in my 'friends' on the right; most of them I don't know but one or two I've had the pleasure of designing an album or single for (and many that I'd love to). Lots of them don't have official myspaces (so they're not pictured) but some of my favourites are (in no particular order): Prince / David Bowie / Kate Bush / Ryan Adams / Wilco / Jimmy Webb / Rickie Lee Jones / Tom Waits / Jan Garbarek / David Sylvian / Rufus Wainwright / Chris Isaak / Miles Davis / Bill Evans / Joni Mitchell / Josh Rouse / Mark Isham / Lambchop / Michel Petrucciani / Jack Bruce / Robert Palmer / Keith Jarrett / The Flaming Lips / Michael Franks / Antonio Carlos Jobim / Stephen Bishop / James Taylor / Paul Simon / Art Garfunkel / Neil Young / Beck / Randy Newman / José Mercé / Niña Pastori / Antonio Carmona & Ketama / Miguel Bosé / Iggy Pop / David Byrne / James Grant (Love & Money) / Pat Metheny / Stevie Wonder / Todd Rundgren / The Blue Nile / Roddy Frame & Aztec Camera / Jeff Buckley / Eg White / Radiohead / Doves / Danny Wilson / Scritti Politti / Charles Trenet / Craig Armstrong / E.S.T....

Television
Here's the video to a lovely song by Joni Mitchell, from the 'Night Ride Home' album. It's a story of unrequited love and aren't we all suckers for that type of tale. To be honest, I don't know if this is the official video for the track; the first time I saw it, I added it here. The photography is great and compliments the song perfectly. Thanks to thecurator1 (who posted it om youtube). Enjoy.

My mum: Isabella Patterson (Brown) Ross - 1926 - 2007
For those of you who have stumbled upon my myspace by accident... My name is Ian Ross and since the mid eighties I've lived and worked in London as a graphic designer. Until 5 years ago I worked solely as an album sleeve designer at Bill Smith Studio. I'm still as passionate about this as I ever was but these days I do them in my own time. The work you see in the slideshows here are highlights from the past 20 years both during my time at BSS and solo projects.
I hope to keep you up to date with current projects, past glories and anything else I think may interest you.
Thanks for looking. BTW: I've put a few past favourites in my pics (past works folder). If you'd like to know more about anything you see, drop me a message. Hope you like them.

Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who likes the designs you see here and would like one for their music.
