I wonder if a graphic designer living in London can make his living by doing only single (7" or 12", vinyl) covers? How much one earns for one of these? Anyone?

It's a bit of a niche market.
I wonder if the designers that do only this sort of work are already well established and well regarded in their field?

montyzuma, gig posters and book covers also interest me. Book covers are the tougher ones, extremely narrow market. Beside teh fact you frequently have to read awful literacy, the idea of high quality graphics frequently is a bit too serious to me... Pop industry (records, gigs) allow you to have lots more fun when doing the pieces. But I have no minimum idea of how much to expect earning from a 7 cover, a gig poster etc.

I mean: ... editors´ idea of high quality graphics is frequently a bit too serious, too heavy, no fun at all to me...
