As well as producing a short film last year, Walsall duo Big Special approached the artist to produce a band logo and the cover art for their album, National Average.
His son Alfie Hicks had also worked on the graphics, explained the artist.
“I know how I want things to look, but he’s great at translating my ideas,” he said.
“It was a secret album, so we had to work undercover over a few months, and of course it had to be about the Black Country,” said Hicks.
“They were great to work with. I went to see them play in Wolverhampton around the time that the album came out,” he said.
“To see people with it under their arms, and with the t-shirts on, it was fantastic really.”
“So the art has gone in lots of different directions.”
