After graduating from London's prestigious Royal College of Art in 1998, Sweeney embarked on a prolific illustration career; he's doodled for the likes of Silas & Maria, Levi's, and Stüssy, and appeared in the
Gas Book series,
The Face, and
Sleazenation. Musically, he has made his mark as a guitarist for XL Recordings' Zongamin (the brainchild of frequent design collaborator
Susumu Mukai) and by designing album art for Beck, and Architecture in Helsinki, whose
Places Like These cover he spun into a full art show in Melbourne, Australia. Of course, there's the veggie-filled
Tales From Greenfuzz series of comics and its attendant toys, plus his label, Alakazam, an optical acid bath of dancing pharaohs and voodoo jukeboxes from the future past.
