IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE ONE

New album cover I finished last month for Cultures of Soul. This is an amazing underground, Atlanta disco record by Tommy Stewart. Can't wait to get my copy of this on wax.

I've done a few covers for these guys now and funnily enough a pattern is starting to emerge, last time it was Ancient Astronauts, this time the book of Genesis re-thought, lots of interesting myths and theories with a disco back beat.

Here are the labels I designed for this 2 record set.

I will be doing a giveaway or two when these couple records come out, so stay tuned. And apologies to people who won posters on the last giveaway, they are finally going out this week. Promise!

WORLD'S FUNKIEST COVERS LP

Just finished a fun project for Cultures of Soul Records a LP and CD cover for a comp called World's Funkiest Covers. Pretty dope selection of covers in a slew of styles. I can't wait to get a copy on wax. Pre-order and listen here.

And a couple of rough sketches and different directions below.

Bringing the Heat

New piece for Oxford American's music ish. A portrait of The Black Haze Express. This was a perfect assignment for me. Illustrating a super rare almost non-existent funk group. They released only two 45's in low pressing numbers. They are most famous for Won't Nobody Listen which was included on the "What it is?! Comp from a couple years ago.

Black Haze Express is really one man Sam Dees. Who has written and recorded tons of hits, mostly for other people. Like One in a Million by Larry Graham.  Needless to say there are like, two lo-res photos in existence of these guys and that's where we illustrators come in.
