Album Cover Design + New Website
Last month I finally finished a new website and album cover design (see below) for my good friends the Carousel Rogues. They’ve got some great tunes that you can now purchase on iTunes. Happy listening!

Video: Let Yourself Feel
Video by Esteban Diácono entitled “Let Yourself Feel”. The song in the background is “Ljósið” by Ólafur Arnalds – a musician who happened to like the video so much, he made it the official video for the song. Enjoy!

The Bible Meets Graphic Design
I was listening to NPR the other day and heard this story, Two New Bibles Preach A Hip, Eco-Friendly Gospel, which led me to look up more info about this newly designed Bible, Bible Illuminated: The Book. Interesting stuff… I’m sure reactions are all over the map. It’s definitely the most interesting Bible cover I’ve ever seen:
“First, the flashy coffee-table Bible: Dag Soderberg, a secular Swedish advertising executive wondered why so few people actually read the “good book,” so he set out to make it more appealing, with glossy photos and magazine packaging. The resulting publication is an illustrated version of the New Testament called Bible Illuminated: The Book. ” – Lynn Neary

Riceboy Sleeps, Art and Music
“Riceboy Sleeps is an artistic collaboration between Jón Þór Birgisson (singer for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós) and his partner Alex Somers. Not only do they make visual art, but they also create ambient music. The music tends to be more ethereal and experimental than that of Sigur Rós.” – Wikipedia
