What kind of stuff inspires you?
My sense of design is deeply affected by mid-century American art and design. Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Alex Steinweiss, Saul Bass and Reid Miles really gave me all of the inspiration I could need at my self-taught starting point in the graphic arts. My |
obsession with music and vintage poster design inspired a foray into rock show poster making (see: Largemammal Print) which led directly to my home here at Disc Makers.
What makes you unique?
I was 2007 Philadelphia Rock Paper Scissors City League Champion. Yes, there is a league, and I won the whole darn thing. It allowed me to adopt my buddy Smokey, a retired racing greyhound, and throw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game. I am awesome.
What's your favorite album cover and why?
Easily my favorite album cover is the one for AC/DC’s 1978 live record “If You Want Blood, You’ve Got It.” I first saw this cover when I was ten or eleven years old, and it blew my mind. It depicts Angus Young being impaled by his own guitar, an image which clearly depicts the dangerous and explosive energy of the album. This has nothing to do with design quality, but more to do with my memory of discovering rock n roll. Let there be rock!
What's the coolest concert you went to?
One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen was The Flaming Lips performing their “Boombox Experiment.” The band came out on stage with two groups of 15 chairs facing each other, with a boombox and a bag of tapes placed on each chair. They took volunteers from the audience to “play” the boomboxes, each member of the band conducting the volunteers to press play at the same time and raise and lower the volume of the pre-recorded music. It was an equally irreverent and masterful show that sounded off over 300 different tracks of sounds, instruments and voices at the same time, sometimes pretty, sometimes completely distorted.
