It seems like ages ago when I designed these shirts for the band MiApollo. I haven’t posted them up on my website until now, but I really enjoyed putting them together. I do recall a late night screen printing session in the garage and printing on an “ultra exclusive” shirt on one flannel. And whoever got it must be one lucky man.
Theses were three of the shirt designs I created and printed.

Another recent show poster I did last month. NSD WHOA!/Goonz/All Dinosaurs at a revamped venue called Cranky’s Manatee Pub, which I believe used to be called The Matinee.
Also put this show poster on my profile at: gigposters.com, which you can see HERE.

Logo/Identiy for a Hip Hop/Jazz fusion band out of San Diego. California named Kontious & The Ko-op. So I created a funky/retro logo that would remind you of a Pam Grier movie or a jazz festival from the 70s. The music combined elements of funk with hip-hop and I wanted to have the logo reflect the sound and feel of the music as much as possible.

NSDWHOA! Could be the most spiritual band in Ohio. You can see they’re walking on water. Shot the photos a little while ago, but just getting around to routinely updating the work on my site. This is one project I definitely wanted to share because of pure spiritual inspiration. However, I did put a good portion of time into both compositions and really like the way they turned out-especially the one at sunset, which I would love to see painted on felt and framed. Also there in two other promo shots from the same session.

Second album cover and CD label design for R&B singer, Hershel Abram. Took an retro/Motown look with the cover and the cd label. (The CD looks just like a mini 7″ There is actually a texture to the top of the CD to represent the grooves in the vinyl)
To date, one of my favorite projects not only with Hershel, but in general. Pictures of the actual packaging soon.
For now take a listen to Hershel’s music at: www.hershelabram.com or check out the album on iTunes.
