Just a quick note today. I have a few pieces hanging at Dunn Bros in Edina. See the address below. I believe there are about 5 pieces up and they’ll be showing all the month of November. Saturday morning I went through some old unpublished work and was inspired to re-work it a little. I’ve been spending much, if not all, of my time with ebandLive outside of doing anything creative. Unless you consider programming in Notepad creative. I hardly think so. Although things are settling down a bit.

Anyway, if you’re near the Dunn Bros store I hope you get a chance to see my work up. I will have another showing starting in January in the Uptown area of Minneapolis and by then I will have some brand new work for sure.  Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m a little late in posting this… some of my artwork is showing at the Dunn Bros. on University and 6th. There are about 7 pieces up. So if you’re in the neighborhood, please stop by and have a looksee.

Next month I’ll be showing at a Dunns in Edina but I’m not entirely sure of the address just yet. When I find out, I’ll be sure to post it here.

I’m getting some good feedback and sales. I can’t complain about that. So anyway, on a totally unrelated note… Bayside is playing The Triple Rock tomorrow. The early show. They’re in the midst of supporting their new record. I’ve heard some of it on Myspace and I’m loving it. If you can make it, make it. Well that’s all for now.

See ya

Ok, sorry for not posting in a while. I’ve been really busy with eBandLive.com and have had little time to do anything else. Blah. Anyway I will be putting up my art at Dunn Bros. at the East Lake Street store this Sunday. It will run through the entire month of September. The address is:

Dunn Bros.
4648 E. Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55406

Check it out, have a cup and stay for a while…

Josh (bassist) stopped over a few minutes ago and I just got my copy of the Western Fifth CD and poster and they look great! Once I get over to the studio (maybe tomorrow) I’ll photograph it to add to the portfolio. CopyCats Media did the pressing and printing and it looks awesome. The band leaves for tour this Wednesday. A fan of Wilco? You all should really check them out! Anyway, that’s all I have to say…

Bye,

The album artwork for Western Fifth’s full-length record is now complete. Woo hoo! The band digs it and I’m happy with how it came out. The record is titled, Stand Like A Thief. I’ve had the opportunity to listen to the entire record and I must say I’m really impressed. It’s a well put together album from beginning to end. Nice job guys!

I’m hearing from the band that they will be touring very soon (mid-August?) and you’ll be able to pick up the album at their shows. Oh by the way, it’s a 4-panel digipak package. They commissioned me to put together an 11×17 artwork poster piece in true Metrofader style to accompany the CD. The poster also has the lyrics printed on it. Cool, eh? Well enough of me babbling. Here is the final artwork…

I’m knee deep in the design of the Western Fifth album artwork. Turns out it’s going to be printed via 4-panel Digipak packaging. And as a nice little touch, they asked me to go nuts and put together an 11×17 full-color poster artwork piece that will be distributed along with the record. What a cool touch for those looking forward to purchasing the physical CD as opposed to downloading the music via iTunes. Plus, I get to go one step further with the dark, brooding theme we’ve got going with the artwork. Neat.

What was cool about the record is that I got to use some of my unused stock photography for the photomanipulated cover. Along with using several old and new photos of mine, I also got the chance to design the new logo. They were looking for a “flourish” detailed style logo. I wanted to add a “Western” feel, since they are sort of an alt Country band, and I think I pulled it off with the decorative type. It looks good and I think the band is happy with it. That’s all that matters, so…..yeah.

Anyway, so here’s a sneak peek at the artwork cover. The band seems to dig it and so should you. You can click on the image to see a bigger version.

Good news… I uploaded images to the Gallery. The Gallery consists of my artistic ideas meant for purchase on several different mediums, such as canvas and high quality print. Go on over to the Gallery page, click on an image and you’ll find a hyperlink that will direct you to a purchase page for that piece on Imagekind. Neat. 

Well it’s almost Friday and we’re heading out to see the Standard Thompson show in about 10 minutes! I’ll be back tomorrow. Be safe kiddos…
