MY LIFE IS RICH

Turdus Migratorius

I did this for my mom. Love you mom!

TK & VH Tour Poster

(click to zoom in)

I now have done 3 posters for co-headlining tours. It's an interesting musical approach as well as another solution to work around in the design approach. The interesting fact about this tour is that each group will back the other when they play, so that's gonna be a d'lish treat to see.

I wanted to keep equal importance as always to the co headliners and at the same time pull em apart, 2 eyes being from the same head accomplished this for me. I then used these 2 black & white fotos i had found at an antique store that i've been waiting to use and this seemed the best way. Valhalla Hill are a couple members so it was perfect for the army buddies snap and Tony Kevin Jr. being solo i jus had to use the old school lumber jack. I kept the colors to an antique almost sun distorted hue and then overlapped them to bring another dimension to pull it off the page. I then stressed some of the lines and shapes to contribute to the antique feel that was coming from the color/type/fotos.

Please listen to Tony Kevin Jr. & Valhalla Hill ! A treat for the ears and soul!

PAUL SIMON

I can't stop listening to this record. Vanja has vinyls i don't really listen to and i'm jus discovering how amazing they are. The sound textures are terrific on this collection • incredible diversity in genre hopping • a terrific lyricist • catchy melodies around unique song structuring. I'm a huge fan and I would venture to say that Vampire Weekend have to be as well. IF you can pick this up or find it you won't be disappointed! ALSO i really like that it fits various parts of my day. It's nice to work to, nice for background hanging out, nice to just sit and listen too. ENJOY!

SOMETIMES I DRAW

Drinking Jar

I enjoy drinking out of old glass mason jars. Reminds me of Michigan & country livin'. I jus found some over at Espresso Parts for $2.97 each! Jus think of the drinks that come from the spring into summer transitions -> home made lemonade with frozen raspberries, peach ice tea, iced americanos, chocolate soy/milk. Drinking out of glass is the best, ESPECIALLY when it has a fine fashioned glass handle to hold onto.

PAPER ASTRONOMER

I'm so delighted to share this album cover finally. This is the biggest project i have done yet and i had the most incredible insight & assistance from VANJA. and Casey. It required the most vision i've put into a project which also meant the most time i've put into a project as well!

I'm going to do a detailed blog in the next couple weeks really picking apart the making of this record cover. There's a lot of photos we took while making it to add to it. BUT for now here is the cover and back.
