UFD 3-Finger Charlie

I did the cover illustration for the new Urban Family Dog CD entitled “3-Finger Charlie”. A nod to our bassist, Charles Chastain, who cut his finger off with a skil saw just prior to the release date. Related packaging images after you click.

Here is a little audio sample: Urban Family Dog, 3-Finger Charlie, Ingredients

Suzuki Aerio Spread

A sporty composition with spirograph kind of elements that I whipped up for the new Suzuki Aerio. Based on television spot imagery, and graphics from a series of print ads I did for Colby & Partners. I not only did the design, but did the final artwork for film as well.

Printer Friendly American Flags

Urban Family Dog participated in a benefit concert for the victims of 9/11. I designed this T-Shirt image from a flag photo of firefighters I found on the news service. A couple of days after the attack, I was looking for American flag images so I could make some stickers. They were hard to find, so I made my own for everyone to share. Printer friendly American flags.

GMC Wrapper Design

Saputo Design needed a professional grade design built from various photo and illustration elements used in the 2002 GMC truck brochures. I was left to my own devices. Click on the images to see the results. One image shows the entire wrapper, and the other a detail of the left side.

UFD Logan Package


My band UFD submitted our song Logan for the XMen movie. I made a really cool box, with comic book imagery, and did the song lyrics for the tri-fold CD insert. Also included was a version of the movie trailer with the music replace with Logan. The song was applauded for it’s lyrical content and energy, though not accepted, because the movie was only using original score without vocals.

NYNY High Rollers Logo

Two years after working on the original NYNY Hotel & Casino logo, I was asked to design a sexier “High Rollers” logo that would be placed on any penthouse schwag. It was on robes, hats, shampoo, toilet paper, mugs, etc. I hope it brings the users good luck.

South Park – Chef Aid

I had the unbelievable pleasure of working on the first South Park album, Chef Aid. Produced by Rick Rubin, I played drums in the DVDA band along with Matt Stone on bass, Trey Parker on Keyboards and vocals, Bruce Howell on guitar, and Isaac Hayes as “Chef”. The most memorable part of the session (for me) was when Rick Rubin told me to play more cymbal crashes in the middle of the crazy drum fills on Come Sail Away. Brilliant!

Here are a couple samples.
