Had a blast designing the debut album from Nashville jazz musician Evan Cobb. I love classic jazz from the greats, but don’t often get into the contemporary jams. I have to say though that I love this album. Filled with great tunes that deserve repeated spins – I am very stoked to be a part of Evan Cobb’s Falling Up. Featuring a slew of amazing Nashville players including Matt White, Bruce Dudley, Jonathan Wires, Joshua Hunt, and Jeff Coffin of Dave Mathews Band and Bela Fleck fame. If you like jazz, the kind that lives and breathes and moves you, and don’t often pick up a new record – this one comes highly recommended. Dig on Evan Cobb: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/evancobb.

New Illustration for Warner Music Group
Hey y’all! New illustration time. Here is a new one I did for Warner Music Group – an ad for this year’s NARM National Association of Recording Merchandisers Conference. It’s promoting Alternative Distribution Alliance or ADA – their indie distribution arm. Thanks to Music Matters in Park Slope and Other Music in the East Village for letting me snap up some reference shots. Enjoy!

Don Winslow’s SAVAGES
Was thrilled to be asked by San Diego independent bookstore Mysterious Galaxy to design a custom illustration for Don Winslow’s new book Savages. The store will be selling a special edition of the book bundled with the limited edition print tonight at a signing for Don at the store. So if you are in the San Diego area – head over there! The book is a great read. Filled with drug dealers, sex, kidnapping, murder, and some incredibly memorable characters – I highly recommend this quick, fun read for fans of Tarantino flicks and Elmore Leonard books. For more check out www.mystgalaxy.com and www.donwinslow.com. Grab the book at Galaxy, your local bookstore, or on Amazon, iBooks, or wherever you damn well please. Without further ado, enjoy some art.

New Poster – Fanfarlo
I’m very excited to present my brand new poster for the band Fanfarlo. I’m a big fan and was thrilled to work on this one. The band is on tour throughout November and December, hitting up Webster Hall next month. So in case you missed this UK gang during CMJ, get your tickets now. My poster will be available at all the stops on the tour. And if you haven’t heard ‘em, head on over to MySpace or their official site to listen.

Brendan Benson on Letterman / New Record
Had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Benson live on my birthday last week. He killed a great set of songs at Bowery including tunes from all his records and the new one, My Old, Familiar Friend. Friend is a great album packed with trademark BB hooks and a few tunes that showcase a bit more of a super-charged rock sound, no doubt a side effect of his recent Raconteur-ing. Check out Brendan on Letterman, pick up Friend, and work backwards from there until you can’t get Cherries (from One Mississippi) outta your head.
And yes, that’s Ben Folds’ bassist, Jared Reynolds backing up the sounds.
CD at Amazon. There’s also a sweet vinyl that comes with MP3s.
