Darren Hayes has revealed the the artwork for his new album Secret Codes and Battleships.
The cover, which appears below, was designed by John Gilsenan from London graphic design outlet iwantdesign.
Hayes said that he personally selected the artist after being impressed with his work on The Script's album campaign, adding: "John's work has that quality. He's not just a designer but a multi faceted artist who photographs, paints and physically makes objects to include in his work. A real artist."
Discussing the LP, which is trailed by his latest single 'Talk Talk Talk', the singer confessed: "[It's] about being lost on a journey to find your true happiness - and about the war between lovers and their struggle to stay together in a world that just wants people to break up.
"There's a lot going on in the music and that's why this was the only cover I could have imagined for Secret Codes and Battleships."
Hayes recently announced a string of UK tour dates for this October, including a date at the O2 SBE in London on October 19.
