For this cover, I wanted to visually express the basic ingredients of any Celtic music performance: fiddle, piano, and foot stomping. All three were provided in generous quantities that night. If you missed this concert, you could always get the CD and throw your own kitchen party.

I think that WordPress is a not only a great tool for web sites and blogs in general, but when leveraged properly, it’s great for a freelancer who needs to build small sites for artists and musicians who need a CMS. This is my first WordPress site launch, and there will be many more to come.

Markit, Mark My Words

webmaster — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:17:30 +0000

One quarter of the Halifax rap crew, Fax 4, Mark My Words is Markit’s debut solo release. When Markit approached me about doing the artwork for his album, he wanted to incorporate his illustration of the foreboding character that you see on the cover. After a few attempts of inkblot and brush stroke style designs, I finally hit on the concept of using the character illustration to create a propaganda style poster. He makes me think of Nineteen Eighty-Four for some reason… I went with The Constructivist style of poster design, since as we all know it’s so well suited to this genre. However, I chose to keep my design simpler then the average Constructivist piece.
