Recently my good friends in the band The Fordists recorded an album and needed some help with the process of creating the artwork. They already had a concept as well as a diorama that George, the bassist, had created for the cover art. So being the multi-tasking creative professional dude that I am, I offered to straddle the many duties involved including art direction, photography, design, and production. Every aspect was a true collaborative effort and I love how the final product turned out, it’s unlike anything I’ve worked on before – it would probably be ideal artwork for an indie-pop band if it wasn’t so unsettling.

Laying down some conceptual groundwork here for the record label my friend Ryan is starting, Wax Abraham Recordings. Ever since he first approached me about the project last year I’ve been accumulating a cornucopia of colorful ideas, so keep a lookout as this space fills up. ◊

Some truly unique cloud forms from an early summer evening, captured with a point-and-shoot digital camera (as it was the only thing on-hand) and pieced together as panoramas. These have been sitting on my hard drive for over a year now, so when I came across another photo of that unmistakable skyline I thought it was due time to share. ◊

Just a little nugget for now, I knocked this flyer out over the weekend and wanted to share. I created a color version and this monochromatic one for photocopying which it turns out I like a lot better.

Sorry, that’s it for the moment; however more posts and a few surprises are well overdue and indeed on the way, I swear. ◊
