rough americana

in that this pseudo-revolutionary artwork seems to be bringing folks pleasure at the moment i thought i’d take the opportunity to post a bit of artwork which i did a while back but never posted to the nonist.  in this case the work was not created in a flash and off-the-hip but labored over. it’s the cd package design for a record called rough americana by the duo of morgan craft and dj mutamassik. this was designed long before we went into iraq for the second time and obviously long before the election. it was also created before anti-money scanning technology was included in photoshop. click all for larger versions. enjoy.





if your interested in hearing the music there are a couple samples over at the burnt sugar index. very abstract and not for the faint of heart. if you like it, it’s available at cd baby. similarly i packaged a dvd for this record which was a re-imagining of the music by video artist dvdell. you can check it out at the excellent dvdell site if you so please. until tomorrow…
