This past weekend I was invited to attend the The Jeremy Miller Band CD release party at La Zona Rosa here in Austin, Tx. I completed the album artwork for the band earlier this year. It was a long time in the making but a tremendous amount of fun to work on. This project sort of spawned my love for album cover design. Since doing the JMB cover I have taken on several album designs for other Austin, Tx musicians as well as bands from all across the country.

The CD release party for JMB was a lot of fun. I got to finally meet the band face to face, and they even gave me a nicely framed album cover and CD, which now sits on the shelf next to my desk. The band sounded great, and the the turn out of fans was awesome. I did manage to take some really bad photos with my phone (see below).

I hope that JMB continues to make great music for a long long time, and I hope to have the privilege of designing their next album cover!!

This is the framed album that the band gave me!

It’s been a steady 100+ degree summer here in Central Texas. So to celebrate the record breaking heat, I have a texture pack which includes nothing more than photos of the sun. You know you want to look, but don’t stare directly at them… I’m still seeing spots. Download these photos, sit back and cool off with your favorite beverage, and add some serious heat to your next design project. Enjoy!
