Album Cover: Attack Time- Turkey in the Raw
This album cover was commissioned by Chicago band “Attack Time” as a part of the Gig Grabbing Game: it seems these days sounding great is only the start of the process.

Animation (completed)- Fracas at the Space Cafe
Click “Play” and turn up the volume!
The Christmas holidays of 2014 approached and a measure of concern was working its way into my worry box.

This was the second excursion into animation and a return to recording.

Animation: Spinach Can, Spinach can. This is where it all began!
