Here is the cover for The Dirty Birds‘ new album “How the Cause Became the Cure.” It’s going to be packaged up in a 4 Panel Digipak, with a slot inside to hold a 12 page booklet. That’s quite a bit of room to stretch some serious imagery across. Our goal was too illustrate the four seasons, (one to each panel) and have them merging together seamlessly. Then the booklet is full of lyrics, and illustrations and watercolor. Be sure and check it out when it comes out on August 8th.
A few months ago, I posted about our friend James, who got the Conductor, from the cover of The Winston Jazz Routine‘s Sospiri record tattooed on his arm. James just sent me these nice photos of the tattoo, all healed up. It’s nice to see the ink, now that it is free of scabs, and cleanly healed up. Also, check out James’s band HERE.
Adam, Cheryl and I just completed the CD layout for David Mcghee‘s “Black Bear River.” The artwork is a vintage splashy watercolor illustration of the rural backwoods that are often responsible for inspiring really good folk music. This is no stretch for this record. We wanted to illustrate the album title’s River, and give the feel of seclusion in the woods. Additionally, David was a treat to work with. It’s great when everyone is really patient with each other. Getting along well, makes this process always function very smoothly.
Honey over at Sweet Station just hooked us up with some free stickers. They are using these as a free promotional project to try and gain some more exposure to their site. Just over a year ago, Honey gave us some press on their fantastic design review website. I wanted to return the favor. Hit them up, and get yourself some free stickers.
Just wrapped up this tour poster for the band Scouts. They requested a scene depicting Cowboys and Indians. We think this worked out perfectly to that criteria.
