Having been involved with music my whole life, it is only natural
that I end up doing design, illustration, and marketing for both
my own music projects and commissioned work for ensembles, composers,
and performing artists. The diversity of both projects and styles
on this music design sampler webpage reflects my philosophy that
the music dictates the art and design: thus, some projects reflect
the experimental nature of the music, while others are more traditional
designs.
Presented first here is a self-advertising poster promoting my
own ongoing interest in doing design and illustration for musicians
and their marketing needs.

concept illustrations for a Stick player's calendar project that was proposed but not completed.
