Jet By Day “the Vulture”

Tags: , , , ,

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.

Rump Posse “Steamy Scandals & Love Handles”

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…

Rump Posse “Steamy Scandals & Love Handles” Limited Edition Tape

Tags: , , , , ,

If you have this tape or have had the honor of hearing it, then you know of Rump Posse’s supremacy.  I think we made about 90 of these tapes.  I stayed up all night one very long (but exciting) night in 2004 at Kinko’s. The cover watercolor was done by Brandon Betts (better known as “Ace”).  This is quite possibly the greatest tape ever made.  This is one of the first times that my nickname “Joystick” was used with or instead of my real name.
