This is a fun one. While I will always be an artist and designer, I have not-so-secretly always wanted to be a rockstar. The only thing standing in my way is a lack of musical talent. My chosen career path does, however, afford me the opportunity to occasionally be part of industries that I love dearly, like fashion, skateboarding, and MUSIC. It makes sense that I would also design in this space even when I’m not getting paid for it (yet).

This collection of works includes type treatments and merchandising for Biffy Clyro, The Allman Brothers Band, and Thin Lizzy. Since the latter two bands are no longer active, it makes contacting their representation a bit more difficult. They do still release music and merchandise, though, so all hope is not lost. I have reached out where I could, but have not heard anything back. Biffy is still melting faces, so their representation is a bit easier to track down, but alas, still no response. If anyone has any info on where to look or who to reach out to for any of these bands, please let me know. It would be an honor to have even the smallest impact on the legacy of these artists that mean so much to me.

These designs are all about honoring the ethos of the band while bringing as much of myself to it as possible. I wouldn’t touch these artists if I didn’t think I had something to add to the conversation. In this case, what I think I offer is a bit of focus and intention to their already established legacies and aesthetics.

While the ship has certainly sailed on my career as a rockstar, I think there is definitely a place for me to have an effect on an industry that has had such a profound effect on me. If you can help make that happen by pointing the right people in my direction or helping to illuminate my path, that would be greatly appreciated. New year, new opportunities! Thanks for tuning in!

See you in the next one.
