Tangy - Sorta Like Very Ultra

The Tangy boys are at it again, and they signed me up for design duty once more. Gluttons for punishment, maybe...

Songs for the South

This album is a compilation disc, on which I also contributed a Regular song, Parade. All the tracks were performed by Microsoft employees, with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross in support of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. I used a subtle water image as the background; not only because of the hurricane itself, but because water is an integral part of the culture of the Gulf region, as well as New Orleans itself - The Gulf of Mexico, The Misssissippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. The design on the guitar pick is the French fleur-de-lis, which can be seen all over New Orleans.

Bill Horist - Songs From The Nervewheel

Bill came to me with an actual nervewheel, wanting it to figure prominantly in the design of his cover. I'll tell you what, that thing is sharp...

The Malachy Papers - Demons

Endless Records approached me with a bunch of wonderful sketches done by an artist named Peregrine Honig, and told me to do whatever I wanted with them. So, I took the elements I liked best from several of the drawings and laid them out in the colors and proportions I wanted. The label liked it, Ms. Honig approved, and the band was happy.

The Orchids - Another Word b/w Ten One Hundred

A buddy of mine some years back asked me to do a low tech sleeve for a 7" he was pressing. I did the whole thing the old-fashioned way - cut and paste. With actual scissors. And real glue...

Regular - Regular

This a design I did for my own CD. The cover is a detail from a series of self-portrait oil paintings I did.

Tangy - Die For Us Tonight

These guys are from Madison, WI. This one taught me a lot about making sure I know what the client is looking for. I did the entire layout, and they veto'd it. What you see here is take 2, based on a mixed media oil painting of mine.

Tollak - Walk The Earth

Tollak called me from LA and said he needed a design, like, yesterday, because he was moving to Amsterdam "in a week". It was a stretch to schedule it, but it turned out exactly as he had envisioned.

Vegas In Flames - Despite The World

This project was fun. The band was familiar with my work, and wanted something "minimal". I had fun trying to make each element "count".
