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 Saturday morning I went through some old unpublished work and was inspired to re-work it a little.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

hey all, after months and months of hard work, we officially launched ebandLive.com today. ebandLive provides professionally designed band (music) websites backed by a powerful content management system with loads of features. The company was founded by me and started out as an idea I had back in 2005. Obviously I sat on the idea for a very long time before finally acting on it in 2006. But it wasn’t until December of 2007 that I got things in order enough to begin architecting this massive undertaking. Now that ebandLive is off the ground there is still much work to do. Let me tell ya, there are so many great things to come. I’m so excited!

Here is a video of my band, animated by Alex Kruse. Hope you like it…

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…

Western Fifth’s “Stand Like A Thief” has officially been printed. I got my copy a few days ago. It looks great. Be sure to pick up a copy at one of their shows. Inside is a poster insert with lyrics and the other side is a full page art piece by moi (that’s ‘me’ to the layperson).

Alright, I gotta get back to work. Adios!

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…

So Warped Tour was pretty cool. Katie and I got there around 10-ish. My favorites to watch were, Anberlin, Against Me!, Danger Is My Middle Name and Norma Jean. The little lady didn’t care for Norma Jean, but I thought their set was solid. It was great bumping into old friends there too.

Anyway, I have a new CD artwork project. My dad’s new CD! This is going to be an online/download only version. So I’ll be doing a photoshoot and the whole 9 yards. Neat.

Ok well, that’s all for now. It’s movie night and we’ve got two fresh DVDs to bust open. Adios kiddies…

As you were,

Last night I finished the CD cover for Silver Streak’s EP. Yep, this is my band. The record is titled, Bombs Over Minneapolis. It’s a 7-song EP that will be soon be available on iTunes, eMusic, AmazonMP3 and all the others. This will be a digital/online only release available only at the above retailers. So be prepared to break out that iPod!

I’m guessing it will be available on iTunes somewhere around late August at best. I’ll be sure to post something here and on Myspace when it becomes available.

In the coming weeks, there will be a video to support the release of the record. I will post something here when that becomes available also.

I might have some band photo shoots coming in the upcoming weeks. Keep an eye out for that. Gotta run!

Adios,
Jeremiah

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…
