DUKE – CD 2010
My wife and I had our first baby on Thanksgiving and for the birth announcement, I made a mix CD. I used the old Blue Note record designs of the 50’s and 60’s as inspiration. I sent around 50 of these out to family and friends. All the songs have the word “Baby” in their titles.
STICK UP FOR ME – MIX CD ARTWORK 2009
Most everyone who is anyone should have their copies now so here is the artwork for my annual mix CD that I send out to friends and family. Click on images for larger views.
In a New York Minute Poster Design
This was a poster design for a non-existent gallery show I did back in 2006. It’s too bad it wasn’t a real show. I would have gone…
One Day I Will Be Treated Like a Designer…
Yes. This is how I feel most of the time these days. I am about tired of it. So I made this. High quality prints available…
The Big Plastic Head Music Mix 2008
Oh YES! I FINALLY I finished my 2008 mix CD. Every year, I take all of the music that was released in the previous year and distill the songs down to a manageable fifteen to twenty tracks. I burn them on to a bunch of CDs and send them out to all my friends. WAY better than Christmas cards I think. This is year four or five and I do really enjoy doing it.
I also make a swell original cover for each “release” because God knows I need more portfolio pieces that reflect the work I WANT to do, not the work that I am forced to do.

Secret Bar Sticker
This is a sticker design that I created for Thanksgiving. I would tell you more about it but, like it says, I would have to kick your ass first. If you know what I am talking about, you are a very lucky person.
4th of July Poster
This was a rush job I had this year. Normally I do not get to do any print work at the design house where I work. I am merely a pixel pusher (HEAD pixel pusher actually) in our web department so this was a nice change.
Fiddler’s Dream
Design and concept for “Fiddlers Dream” by Greg Spatz
RACKA RACKA RACKA CD
This was the artwork that I created for a mix CD that I sent out to friends. It was SO FUN to create and I think it came out very successful. The music rocks too.

Yosemite Events Poster
It is what it is. A poster showing the Fall events around Yosemite valley. (Psst…I took the picture, too!)
The John Muir Trail Book Cover
A book cover that I designed for a ficticious book. I would have read it. Hey! That’s me on the cover!
