Jouez!
Ultraswing – “Jouez” – Album Front
Ultraswing – “Jouez” – Album Reverse
Ultraswing, the UK gypsy jazz band has just released their next album, “Jouez,” for which I did the album art work. This was a great project to work on, especially for developing some fun characters, interesting vignettes and scenes. They wanted to go with the idea of a speak-easy style jazz club featuring the full ensemble as well as all the characters that go along with that type of lounge. As soon as I receive my copies in the mail, I will be sure to post some photos of the product as well. There are interior panels and the disc itself, as well. If you like jazz, and especially gypsy style jazz, in the vein of Django Reinhardt you should certainly check them out and give them a listen; plus, they are super cool cats.
Goodnight Maurice
In The Night Kitchen
Goodnight, Maurice. Thank you for everything. “I refuse to lie to children.” – Maurice Sendak 1928-2012
Be sure to watch the great interview I posted a little while back.
Dear Crazy Illustrator
Normally, when I check my stats page in the morning the usual search terms that bring people to my page have been “Django Reinhardt”, “Django Reinhardt Cartoon”, “Book Layout”, and “Black and white characters.” Today, however, I am delighted to say that I come up under “crazy illustrator.” I am not sure what this means. Am I crazy creative, crazy good, crazy bad, crazy crazy? Anyway, thank you for making my day fellow searcher.
This also begs the question why “Jack Benny’s Suit” leads people here. “Magneto’s Helmet” seems to quite popular as well. Regardless of all this, thank you all for each and every visit, no matter how you get here, really! Thank you!
