Wasted & Wounded

Wasted & Wounded is the brainchild of John Cheves, a designer, photographer and musician based on the English south coast. In his short time on planet earth John has worked as a cleaner in a sausage factory and a satellite dish salesman. He’s been a staff photographer for the UK’s ‘best selling music magazine’, played guitar for the King of Spain, and been out to dinner with Jay-Z. Sadly, Beyonce wasn’t there too!

John is a renowned music photographer, documenting the resurgence of British music in the 1990’s. His photographic work has been published extensively around the world in publications including NME and Rolling Stone. As a musician, John has toured and recorded with cult band and John Peel favourite, Piano Magic.

His letterpress prints for Wasted & Wounded combine John’s passion for music and design to create images that pay homage to some of the greatest songwriters we have known.
