Album Covers

Step Out of Time
Andrea D. Dale - A Step Out Of Time (1998)

Andrea's first album is called Step Out of Time, and is available on Dodeka records. We had an awful lot of fun doing the photoshoot for the cover- I dressed her up in silly pirate's clothes and made her come down to the Huron River and pose for me... She has some of the photos up on her web site.

Reap the Wind
Steve MacDonald - Reap The Wind (1999)

This is the cover for Steve's third album. I consider it a pretty big honor to have Steve ask me to paint it- Steve has gained a reputation as one of the better filkers out there. The process was a lot of fun, too - I did the painting, largely under Steve's direction, in about 16 hours. Steve entertained me on his 12-string whilst I painted.

Tusks Are Optional
Mark Bernstein - Tusks Are Optional

This was a wonderfully fun job I did about 2 years ago for a good friend, Mark Bernstein. Mark's just about the best storyteller I know, as well as a great actor, director and singer. Mark used his myriad talents to record this spoken-word collection of stories and monologues, some of which he wrote himself. Recorded live at Ypsilanti's St. Luke's Episcopal, the album also features a bunch of us laughing in the background- and groaning at his Spoonerisms!
