After over a year of not having a website, I’ve launched the long overdue portfolio. Lots of new work and in-depth looks at the details of my biggest projects from recent years. Swipe thru the carousel to see a couple snippet previews of what’s on the new site. Link is on my profile.
A huge thank you to all the amazing clients that I’ve have the privilege of working with, and I’m excited to keep things moving forward here in 2025!
Merging the digital world of graphic design and the organic medium of painting has been a fun exploration for me over the last year, so when I was hit up to paint a tour admat for @foyvance , I jumped at the opportunity. Everything here was painted or drawn on paper and canvas, and then brought together to create the various graphic needs for the tour. Huge thanks to Foy and Foundations for letting me run with this project.
Full vinyl layout for @switchfoot ’s The Beautiful Letdown.
We wanted to capture the essence of nostalgia from the original imagery and design, while bringing a fresh take to the look. Lots of intricacies and details in this vinyl spread; from the hand-written lyrics on the sleeve to the stories and images from the 2003 release and tour of this album.
My hope for this album packaging is that it’s observed and enjoyed in the same way that us millennials would sprawl out on the floor of our high school bedrooms with a new CD to read liner notes, follow along with the lyrics, and look at the intriguing images and dream about what it’d be like to be a rockstar.

At the beginning of this year, I was hit up by @mattpingel to do a bunch of work for @jakeowenofficial and jumped at the opportunity. Was a great time working on a handful of projects this year with them, and really love how the merch all turned out.
I’ve not shared a lot of work this year, but damn it’s been a busy one. Gonna get a handful of things posted here and on my website before the new year and new work starts up on January. Cheers to a great year!
Fun one for @theheadandtheheart for this weekend in Nashville. Both the poster and tee will be available at the @imogeneandwillie show this afternoon and the @ascend_amphitheater show tomorrow.
This sheep mask is an iconic and memorable part of The Head And The Heart’s visual identity. Was really excited to draw it for this special set of shows this weekend.
Thank you @warnertidwell for bringing me on for another fun project with this band.
Last week was the 20 year anniversary of @switchfoot iconic album, Nothing Is Sound. To commemorate it, we dropped a merch line that embodies both the original graphics and ideas, as well as new twists and takes on the style and artwork. Really great time bringing these designs to life with @timforeman , @john__cooper and @snoopbobby
I remember spending hours in my room learning the guitar riff to Stars; 20 years later I’ve still not quite got it down. Lemme know in the comments if this album was a part of your youth, as it was mine.
Cheers to a phenomenal album, and a lifetime of screaming these anthems with you guys @timforeman@jonforeman@chadbutler@jeromefontamillas
90s gas station wolf inspired design for the @mtjoyband merch line that just dropped on their website. Had a ton of fun creating this piece and enjoy anytime I get to work in this vintage image collage style. Thank you to @raileybaceprints for bringing me on for this piece.
Last year, when @timforeman asked if I’d want to work with him to create the artwork and visual world for his first solo album, it was an easy yes. I’ve admired this guy for many years, and to work with him on this project was such a special experience. I remember the first time I listened thru the album front to back, I thought immediately that this is a no skips perfect record. What a joy to play a role in the creation of this album; thank you for this gift.
@bongochicoland forever
Recent merch designs for @bryceavary ’s “Hello, Good Friend.” 20th Anniversary Tour. Was a fun exploration to merge some of the styles and elements from the original album into modern and reimagined ways for this anniversary merch line. Tour is happening now thru mid April!
Debut album my by dear friend @michiganderband is out tonight! It’s been such a fun ride creating all the artwork for this album, capturing Jason’s style and personality along with Michigan influences while bringing the vibe and energy of the album into visuals was a challenge that I think we nailed. Much appreciation to @erickfrost on the photographs that were used in the cover and packaging.
Debut full length album by @brotherelsey has been out for a few days now! Endlessly proud of the music they’re making, and grateful to play a part in it. Been a part of their music journey since 2017, and couldn’t be more exited for this new phase of their band; the album is amazing, take a listen.
Also made a bunch of music video / visualizers with @stephennorregaard for the singles, and those can be seen on YouTube.
Creating the artwork for the most recent @allenstone release was a highlight of my last work year. As Al’s sound and style has developed and grown in recent years, the goal was to create something that reflected that. We decided to go with influences from classic jazz vinyl art of the 50s-70s. If you’ve ever seen Al live, you know his embodiment of that era is undeniable. He brings energy and charisma in a way that’s not often seen anymore. The hope was to capture the essence of that with big and bold style that feels both classic and original at the same time.
Always a pleasure working with @allenstone , @john__cooper and the @redlightmgmt team.
This project, and many more, are up on my new portfolio website - jordanwetherbee.com
