Album design for Still

 "Still" is Boston-based Beth McDonald's recording of works for tuba and electronics. It features my art on the cover. She selected the work "Rings of Saturn" and then I created the design for the rest of the album. It was such a pleasure to work on this project. Check out this recent interview with Beth McDonald talking about her new album here.


You can listen and purchase her album here.

Art Fridge- ITAK

My art fridge with a few of my favorite things. Thanks to Inside the Artist's Kitchen for getting a photo of this. I save every postcard for every exhibit that I attend. I have boxes and boxes and not enough room for all of it on the fridge. The selection changes as I add new cards.

I love the illustration they created for the pretzels and beer cheese. They arranged the pretzels nicely on a plate to photograph in this exact configuration and called it "the money shot". bwhaaaaaaa
