MOUTHEATER 'PASSING KEY' 12"

got the opportunity toward the end of last year to do some more design work for VA's MOUTHEATER. this time for their "passing key" LP through ANTHEMS OF THE UNDESIRABLE records. the front and back cover photos as well as the heart shaped box insert photo were arranged and shot by DAVOOD SALEK. the insert artwork, lettering, vinyl labels, and all layout were then handled by yours truly. really glad i got to work on this one. great label, great guys, and amazing band. definitely one of the best albums of 2014.

BLACK COFFEE 7"s

i did the art and layout for both of these BLACK COFFEE 7"s within the past couple years, it just took me until recently to get my hands on physical copies of either.

first up is the self titled ep from 2012 via DEATH EXCLAMATIONS RECORDS. this recording was also available on cassette with a live bonus track through SISSTER SSOUND.

the second 7", 'birth death birth', was released on vinyl by TREATY OAK COLLECTIVE in 2013. this one was also available on cassette, this time in the UK through CULT CULTURE. got copies of those some while back and i'm fairly certain photos have already been posted here. back cover photo courtesy of denniz trauma.

this last one has nothing to do with GIVE UP art or SISSTER SSOUND. but ryan shipped it along with the others and it's pretty cool. also has possibly my two favorite BLACK COFFEE songs so far. square lathe cut 5" from IMBALANCE ARTS.

HOLY MONEY/KILN HOUSE/HORDERS

well shit. i was sure i'd posted this here. with the current (necessary?) volume of using media socially it's hard to keep track. this was last weekend now. late pass, but i made the flier so i suppose posting it is still relevant. huge thanks to everyone that came out and to vinal edge and trailer space for hosting.

cbg, 1948

found this in my grandfather's garage in the february/march 1948 issue of science and mechanics magazine. two page how-to tutorial on building 'cigar box violin'.

THE WILL TO POWER 'might' 7"

another one from canada, this time for THE WILL TO POWER. james hofer's electronic/new wave project. i'd previously done some art for his hardcore band and he contacted me about using some art for something new he was doing. i already had the circe image with the dog heads and candles and the band has been using it as their logo since. i'm not sure who handled the final layout for this 7" outside of that logo. this record and others can be streamed, as well as physical copies ordered, through the bandcamp link.

here's a closer image of said logo. this was from their first ep, which, as i understand it, was available only as a digital release.
