Right Away, Great Captain! is Andy Hull’s 17th century sailor-obsessed musical alter ego.  ”The Eventually Home” is the second album by RAGC and its amazing, just like “The Bitter End” before it.  Just as the RAGC records have a common theme and characters, I wanted the artwork to be linear, too. 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.  

This is an ongoing project… I play bass in Iron Hero and am also in charge of making our stuff look good. Each of these packages is spray-painted along with the cds.  I’m constantly making these things, so if you want one, get in touch.

Jeremiah (MO’s drummer) found a box of old pictures a few years ago and wanted to use them for this record.  As it turns out, all of these pictures fit together in a story.  I took the picture story and ran with it, adding other pieces into the layout to give the characters some personality.  After the album, the admats, the singles, and everything else i must have gone through a dozen rolls of masking tape.  

 This is the first work I did for Manchester Orchestra.  Rumor has it that a kid in Florida got these queens tattooed on his arms.  Needless to say, I was flattered. 

Dream Girls was a punk band that I played bass in during 2006/2007.  This was our debut ep that was designed, screenprinted and released all in the span of less than 48 hours.  The printing was done on my kitchen table at the time without the use of a press or any registration.  I’d sell you one but we sold all 49 or so numbered copies.

This was a ton of fun.  First of all, let me say that i think Amanda Kapasouz (Tin Cup Prophette) is amazing. Her first full length is a stunning record and i was thrilled to be able to do this project with her.  It’s an album of traditional Irish songs and it rules.  We had a super low budget and decided to do a one-color screen print. I printed all of these in my kitchen at the time, with no registration marks and no printing press.  The sleeves are printed on an extremely cool packaging from a company in Oregon that i can’t remember the name of.  The inserts are screen printed as well, on vellum.

We created a record label for Amanda with this release called Subway Grime Recordings.  The Subway Grime logo was designed by yours truly.

Jet By Day was from Athens/Atlanta, GA from like 1995 till 2005.  I designed merchandise, sold merchandise, tour managed, bro’d down (haha), drove the van (sometimes), took care of (always), and video documented for the band from 2002 until 2005.  Some of the best days of my life.  I’m currently working on a documentary film about the 3 years that the 5 of us toured together.  I designed many shirts, stickers, a 7″ and posters over the years but my favorite work that i did for them was my first proper CD packaging.  I had been designing 7″s and tapes since high school but “the Vulture” was my first project that got real distrobution and “real” printing.  I’m still proud of this layout and package.  This album was released in 2005 by Future Farmer Recordings.  It’s an incredible record.

Here we have the official release of “Steamy Scandals & Love Handles”, the greatest recording ever recorded. The photographs were taken by the Wal-Mart photo team.  I had a little bit more time to get this artwork together and make sure that everything was perfect.  This was released in 2005.  I was greatly honored to be able to work with the legendary Die Slaughterhaus Records on this package.  If you don’t know Die Slaughterhaus, you should.  I hope i get to work with them again.  If you don’t have this… contact me and i can make one available to you…
