I still have bird seed crumbs in my scanner from this project.  Bain Mattox is the husband of Amanda Kapousouz (Tin Cup Prophette), he’s an accomplished musician with a heart of gold.  All of the handwriting on this packaging was done by me.  I had to lay out the writings and the bird/flower cutouts upside down on the scanner and then pour bird seed over that.  Needless to say, it took many tries before it was all lined up and layed out to fit perfectly in a 5″x5″ or so square.  It was well worth the efforts.  

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.
