Finally got to meet @anjimile in person last night! A great performance in an intimate setting @healingforcerecords We collaborated on the artwork over a year ago via Zoom so it was nice to finally meet in person. Music connects us all! Photo by @zpberman

Anjimile - You’re Free To Go LP/CD art direction and design Finally got my copies! Love the way it all turned out… especially the Opaque Evergreen vinyl! Working directly with the artist on their release is much more gratifying than relying on marketing data and analysis! #albumart #coverart #albumpackaging #12inchvinyl #musicpackaging

Anjimile - You’re Free To Go Art direction and design I worked on this a year ago with @anjimile . And today is finally the release day! I always prefer to work directly with the artist and hear their insights on the record. After all, it’s their story!! Thanks to the management @psychichotline and @4ad label for letting us handle the artwork! Here’s the repost: @remotecontrolrecords Happy release day @anjimile on your beautiful new record! You’re Free to Go is out now everywhere ~ link in bio 🌱 You’re Free to Go is a portrait of transformation — not as a wound, but as an opening. Richly textured, this collection of songs is an honest reflection of life’s fluctuations. It holds space for contradiction and finds liberation in tenderness. Produced by @bradleywcook Engineered and mixed by @paulvoran Mastered by @thetimsmiley 📷 @xanderopiyo 🎨 Masaki Koike at @phyxdesign

Laurie Anderson with Sexmob - Let X=X. Album art direction and design. Truly a dream - Working on a (another) Laurie Anderson album!! All the artwork in the package are painted by Laurie. My objective was to lay it out and stay out of the way! As I was working on setting the type, I made a happy discovery - (L)aurie and(E)rson wi(T)h se(X)mob =X. The process of experimenting and flushing out ideas is what it’s all about! Have the patience and trust the process! Thank you @laurieandersonofficial and the good folks @nonesuchrecords Here’s a repost on the project: @laurieandersonofficial Laurie Anderson with Sexmob’s ‘Let X=X’ is due May 8 on @NonesuchRecords . The triple-LP / double-CD set was recorded live during a 2023 tour by Anderson and the jazz band Sexmob—@stevenbernsteinmusic on brass, Kenny Wollesen on drums and percussion, @dougwieselman on winds and guitar, @BrigganKrauss on saxophone and guitar, and @TonyScherr on bass. The album features 23 songs, including many favorites from throughout Anderson’s career, performed in new arrangements—plus one by @LouReedOfficial and @Metallica , “Junior Dad.” The title track, from Anderson’s landmark 1982 album, ‘Big Science,’ is out now. Nonesuch Store orders include an exclusive print of Laurie Anderson’s cover artwork autographed by her, while they last. Pre-order now at link in bio. Laurie Anderson and Sexmob will tour this spring and summer starting at the @BigEarsFestival in Knoxville, with shows in Denmark, Finland, Belgium, France, Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and back in the US at @tanglewoodmusicfestival . Album artwork by Laurie Anderson. Art Direction and Design: Laurie Anderson and @masakitkoike at @PhyxDesign . Album mastered by @DamienQd at @MiravalStudios . #LaurieAnderson #LiveMusic #BigScience #NonesuchRecords

About a year ago, I received an email from an art consultant group called ABG Group from Oakland CA. They were considering a few of my collages to hang in a multi-family housing project in Orange County. After running it by their client and getting it approved, they ended up going with this piece! So stoked! Thank you to @abgprojects !
