Here are some pictures of a Celer release from a long time ago that I did. Released on Digitalis Ltd. on tape! First cassette design, cover photo by Danielle Baquet-Long. The release had 3 versions with pin design as well, which came in 6 different variations.

Recently completed some artwork for Celer for their future release on the wonderful label Sentient Recognition Archive. Here is a preview of the artwork featuring a photo of mine for the cover. In all, a very elegant release from design, poetry and sound. Order the album here, which is currently in production to be out soon.
Been busy with the start of school but have been able to crank out some freelance.

Here is a series of postcards pertaining to “mask” I did for print class. click for a larger view.
The captions on all of them read “the most beauty exists once there is no need for a mask.”
Mask, by its literal definition is a covering worn as a disguise to hide ones face. They have many cultural references throughout the world, but are all different in some form or fashion. Mask can have a metaphorical aplication as well. Many people wear masks everyday to disguise something about themselves or their past. Whether it be a physical, emotional, or psychological mask, everyone has another side that not many people see. These masks are usually worn in situations where people are in public or being judged constantly. But what if all of that was to be removed? Through my many walks through Richmond, I have always been friendly to the less fortunate and usually say hello or strike up conversations with them. Hearing their stories, no matter how far fetched they are, with such animation always, is something that has constantly caught my attention. But the most interesting thing of all is that these people have nothing to lose because they have lost everything. The entire “mask” situation is removed for their lives. No shame, no loss, only something to gain. The total openness of the homeless and less fortunate is such an intriguing aspect, they do not have any shame to ask you for change over and over. I was really drawn to this and have recently begun to go talk to them and take photos of them just living their life. Most of the less fortunate usually recognize me due to the the way I dress and my armory of cameras. They love the attention because usually it is only their own who will give them the time of day. I find their total loss of shame in their self-image, speech, and actions one of the most wonderful things on earth. For someone to be so natural is an amazing aspect in life. People need to learn to lighten up in our society and I feel that anyone can learn from the less fortunate.
here are the finals for your enjoyment, used some messed up images for the artwork, pretty happy with final outcome. hope you enjoy! Amazing album, download it now.
