Aidan Hughes created most of the album covers for the industrial band KMFDM. Two of KMFDM's music videos ("A Drug Against War," "Son of a Gun") were animated versions of Hughes's artwork. His other work has included outdoor murals, including the 75 metre mural in Barga, Italy, during 2003 which has since been covered over with an earth bank; and a wide variety of advertisements, including pieces for the Bank of Scotland, and Guinness. Hughes is credited for the art design and concept of ZPC (Zero Population Count), a first-person shooter computer game developed in 1996 using the Marathon 2 engine. In 2017, Hughes co-founded Tweak, a photo-editing app for iOS and Android. He presently lives and works in the Czech Republic. (en)
