Julian House is a graphic designer, a musician, and the co-owner of the Ghost Box record label.
House is perhaps most known for his album cover design; most notably for Stereolab, Oasis,[2] The Prodigy, Broadcast,[3] and Razorlight amongst others.
His work is largely collage-based, and draws heavily on record sleeve design and comic book art, with an acknowledged pulp influence - in House's own words, "the 'pulp' end of things which still informs me today, as much as classic design… Strange old vinyl LPs, paperback books, found ephemera…"[4] In the same interview, House named many artists across many disciplines as influences, ranging from Peter Saville, Saul Bass and Max Ernst to William S. Burroughs, Bryon Gysin, H. P. Lovecraft, and Lewis Carroll.
[4] House also contributed design work to the 2012 Peter Strickland movie Berberian Sound Studio.
[5] House releases music under the alias The Focus Group on the label Ghost Box, which he is co-founder of with Jim Jupp.
