Blondie! Yeah!
Tuesday April 22nd 2014, 8:16 pmThe art I did for Blondie’s upcoming release Ghosts Of Download can finally be shown. I worked on this mid-last year, so all of the work has been waiting for a release date. That is now here, May 13th 2014, links below on where to order the package, and Blondie’s Facebook page and website. The package design is a unique one, there will be two albums in one package– featuring The Ghosts Of Download album along with another album of Blondie’s greatest hits newly recorded, and a deluxe version with all kinds of extra goodies. I did all of the design work for Ghosts, while the Hits portion was done by someone else. I worked on every visual aspect of this release, from concept, to cover design, to booklet design, and all the same for the Vinyl Double LP. There are different pieces or alterations for the CD versus the Vinyl, and the same situation for some foreign versions of the release– GO COLLECTORS GO! Below I’ve selected some of the art images for your entertainment. I’ll show more over the next couple weeks, but wanted to get a few Key pieces up for everyone to see. The CD booklet will print the lyrics for the songs, and here some of them are shown as example of the art design, but the album will feature all of the lyrics, all done in the band’s own writing, something they’ve not done before. The Vinyl LP will feature the lyrics as well, but very different in configuration, I’ll show that soon. The overall goal of the visual concept was to marry the idea of digital and organic, but done with a graphic sensibility. The first images I’m showing are good for getting that idea across. This mode of thinking brought the idea of the handwritten lyrics being used, so cool we were able to do that.

Tuesday April 15th 2014, 8:16 pmBack from our Asbury Park New Jersey trip. And from getting to visit with Todd Klein and his lovely wife for a few days. It was a good time all around. The NJ people were so inviting, making Wendy and I feel very welcome. We got to hang out with our good friend Ivan Brandon and Cliff Chiang while there. Also, I was extremely fortunate to have a great but all too brief conversation with the amazing Mister Jim Steranko. His work has been a major inspiration for me in everything I do.
Below is a link to an article about a panel I was on for the convention– moderated by Hannah Means-Shannon, Editor-In-Chief over at Bleeding Cool.
The Con Game
Monday April 07th 2014, 7:30 pmI don’t do very many conventions a year. Usually only one or two, if any at all. There just isn’t enough time to travel and get work done properly in the way I need to focus. Plus sometimes other travel comes up for family stuff. I probably will not be going to SDCC this year. So my only convention this year at this point is Asbury Park in New Jersey this upcoming weekend (12th and 13th), with a short stop along the way to see Todd Klein, Master Of Letters, for a couple days. Todd is attending the show as well. Below is a link, some cool people will be there that I’m eager to meet…
