Write-Up in the Michigan Daily

It's always nice to find good reviews of your work online. Jared from The Dirty Birds just sent me a link to this Michigan Daily Review, which speaks highly of the artwork we did for their album. Definitely really encouraging when the reviewer includes the artwork in the review.

"It is equally impressive when an album’s cover art perfectly matches its tone. How the Cause Became the Cure’s cover impeccably suits the almost melancholy and subtle nature of the album’s contents. The muted, water-colored hues of a winter scene, dominated by a solitary and solemn old-fashioned house upon a hill, invite the listener into The Dirty Birds' foreboding haven. The house’s many windows, lit with a sickly greenish tint, convey the dampened brightness of the album’s sound. This house is not only the perfect setting for where an album like this may have been born, but also for where this album should ideally be listened to."

In addition to the VIP tour poster I made earlier this year for Ray LaMontagne, I also designed several additional pieces of merch for his Part of the Light Tour!

Hi all. My last run of @frabbits screen-prints sold out within a couple hours: THANK YOU!! To continue donating, I’ve partnered up with @jakprints to make a special-edition set of re-prints, encompassing all 5 of the posters I made for Frightened Rabbit. They’re limited to just 50 sets total, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to @800273talk. This is the last and final opportunity to purchase my work for Frightened Rabbit.
