Hot Cold Ground are a bluesy, rocky blues-rock band based in Norfolk, UK. From classic blues to original songs about East Anglian A-roads, we’ve got the lot. Formed in 2009, so it’s been over 10 years now. HCG are Daniel, Dave, Richard and Trevor.
Things we’ve made in Photoshop
![]()
Get your kicks on the A146. The landmarks were hand-traced, then scanned and coloured in Photoshop. The road & river are accurate-ish representations. This design is available on a t-shirt in our shop |

Opie style. Made by tracing around each element of face/hair/clothing etc and adding an outline. Then layered up. This took bloomin ages. |

Book mockup using a downloaded template. The bit that took the time was the authentic-ish Enid Blyton pretend signature, took quite a few tries to get right. |

Tube map. ‘Lines’ spelling out the HCG letters, and ‘stations’ of famous blues artists (and, self-indulgently, ourselves). Also on a t-shirt |

Airfix. This one really took some doing. Had to learn a 3D modelling program called Poser to make the figures, then export from there to add to Photoshop. A filter was used to make the elements look ‘plasticky’. The box was an amended real one for a truck of some kind. |
