Punk Planet Magazine Back Cover Advertisement


This is a full page print ad I made for Punk Planet in 1998. I don't recall what the drawing is supposed to mean or how it exactly relates to the quote by Louis Armstrong. This was an attempt of mine to create a style of ads for Lookout that were unique - illustrating a quote from someone notable in what I hoped would be a fresh or funny approach. Another Punk Planet ad I did can be found here and here are some paintings that were done for this ad series. I'll work on tracking down the actual finished designs and posting them soon.

Digital Album Art

Two digital-only Lookout Records releases, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists "Sharkbite Sessions," and "Lookout Class of '04" both from 2005. I am responsible for the designs but not the illustrations.

Lookout Records Advertisements from '05

As one might be able to tell, I have unearthed an old Lookout Records art CD-r archive and am posting a few things that seemed to make sense here. First is a web ad for Mary Timony's "Ex Hex" album, a general Lookout Records ad and an ad for The Donnas' Lookout albums, all from 2005.

The Mr T Experience "Yesterday Rules" Album Cover

Here is the cover art for the Mr. T Experience's 2004 album, "Yesterday Rules."

Various Old Donnas Art

These are a few designs I created for The Donnas between their last Lookout Records release "Turn 21" and their Atlantic Records debut "Spend The Night." The first (unfinished) image was for a website for their fanclub, Donnaholix. The second also unfinished image is a version of a mini-mart clerk that would have been used elsewhere on the site. The third image is was a hot dog Donnas logo that was used for a one inch badge. I did a bunch of Donnas' art and album design when they were on Lookout (1998 - 2003) and will post some album and merchandise soon.


Jessica Birthday Drawing

Here is a sort of drawing I did with faked-out Photoshop watercolors for Jessica's birthday.
