This website has been meaning to happen for a long, long time. Thanks for your patience. This couldn’t have happened without my buddy/pal/idea-bouncer, Lucas Smith! Give Lucas a big ’round of applause.  

The website is simple. Below this blog entry is a sampling of some of the cds, lps, 45s, t shirts, hoodies, etc that I’ve designed in the last few years. There’s plenty more to show you so I will be adding to the portfolio often.

To your right is the Loose Nerve’s store. I started Loose Nerve’s a little over a year ago and make new clothing and accessories whenever possible. The store will be frequently updated with new limited edition, signed and numbered goodies, so check back often.  The store is set up with paypal so its easy, simple and secure to buy stuff, if you so please.

In addition to Loose Nerve’s items there are (and will continue to be) all kinds of different things that I’ve worked on, whether it be visually, audibly or some other ‘bly.  

If you need to contact me, just click on the contact thingie, you know how this works!  

You can click on different tags for each of the items in the portfolio and just see the albums I’ve designed or t-shirts or what-have-you.

So stay awhile, come back often, and we’ll see you soon.

Here’s a little trivia for you… What is the color of the inside cover?  A: Its the color of US dollar bills.  I had a ton of fun with this record and am looking forward to the third installment???

All of the text in this album (and in “the Bitter End” as well) is lifted and rearranged from old texts.  There are no computer fonts used whatsoever.
