BT's new album "These Hopeful Machines" cover art

2010-02-14T22:03:00.000-08:00

Last year I was approached by Network Records to do the cover for BT's next album. Over the following 8 months I worked with BT, his label, and art director Gavin Taylor (www.okco.us) in creating the concept and cover art. I incorporated a lot of images that had personal meaning for BT. The idea was to combine organic forms and technological symbols from his life and travels. The result was an oil painting covering 2 canvases 15x45 inches each, butted together to form one continuous image. This became the fold out insert for the CD. I got a copy of it last week. It turned out more amazing than I expected.

As a electronic musician myself, I already had massive respect for BT's talent. Working with him on the cover impressed me further with how down to earth, positive and genuine he is as a person. Needless to say his new album sounds absolutely awesome.

DA Cover

2009-10-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

In 2001 I did a 'wallpaper' consisting of 406 caricatures of Deviant Art members as way of a thank you to this incredible art community. Now, 8 years later, I hope to capture the spirit of what this place is all about by creating the most challenging painting I have ever attempted. It's art for and about fellow artists. So here's the deal. I am going to paint a group portrait of fellow Deviant Art members. You send me your photo, I paint you and up to 899 other deviants in one MASSIVE piece of art.

The cut off date for photo submissions is November 27th.

It will probably take me 3-4 months to finish.

Once it's completed I will post it to deviantart.com and offer it as a print.

Due to the monumental task of organizing all this I need you to follow specific steps to ensure you will be included. Here are the instructions on how to do it:

Thank you for helping me get this project off the ground. If it doesn't kill me first, I anticipate the results will be insane and amazing.
