Welcome Scarlet Haze!

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be working with Minneapolis rock band Scarlet Haze on a number of projects! First and foremost, we had to get some stuff rolling for the band’s busy week out at Sturgis… they’re out there playing 10 shows in a week, so they needed some new merch. From here, I’ll be working with the band for album artwork, logo, MySpace & Twitter designs, an all new merchandise line and overall branding. The new Scarlet Haze record is currently being recording at Pound£Sound in St. Paul, MN and should see release this fall. More updates coming soon!

Welcome MY LOVE, MY LOVE!

I’ll be working on some projects with a cool band from California called My Love, My Love over the next couple weeks. I’ll be designing their cd packaging, tour poster, and MySpace. Really good band and awesome guys, it always makes working with a band that much better. Samples coming soon!

Zealous Bride EP Finished

Just finished up the EP for alternative rock band Zealous Bride! Unicorn… why not?

Johnnyrook “Nameless Ghost” Re-issue

About a year ago, I did the artwork for Johnnyrook’s industry sampler as they headed down to SXSW in Austin, TX to showcase. The band ultimately called it a day in August, with the EP only ever seeing an independent online release. With the band back together, “Nameless Ghost” is finally seeing a proper physical release! I’ve re-worked the cover slightly, and created a new back cover. As much fun as it is to work with this band on stuff, I’m more excited that this record is finally coming out, because it’s that good.

Benefit Show For Ovarian Cancer Research

I was recently asked to create all the promotional materials for an upcoming benefit show for ovarian cancer research. This will be the third year for this event, and it has been highly successful each year. For the promotion campaign for the event, I was asked to create an 11×17 poster, 4×6 handbill, MySpace layout, and animated web banner. You can check out the poster below, and see the MySpace / get more info at:

My good, good friends in the band Johnnyrook are back from hiatus and will be making their first live appearance since August on April 5 @ The Rock in Maplewood, MN!
