More stuff in Art+Design

I’ll be uploading more to the “Art+Design” page today. There should be quite a few drawings, flyers and paintings up by the end of the day. Let me know what you think.

Cover art for my new CD, “Murder Ballads and Love Songs for Cello and Voice.”

Here’s the cover sleeve artwork I did in Photoshop for my new CD, “Murder Ballads and Love Songs for Cello and Voice.” The CD is being manufactured at Oasis CD Manufacturing as I write this, and I’ll keep you posted when I have them in my hand in mid-August. I’ll make it available via Amazon, Itunes, etc.

I’d love to do more CD artwork, but I fear CDs may be obsolete by the time I’m ready to record another one. If anyone wants me to do theirs let me know.

A Picasso inspired painting

Here’s a painting I made a while back that was inspired by some Picasso work I was looking at in a book or something. I later used a photo of it in photoshop to make a flyer for one of my shows.

Artwork

I’ve changed this site around quite a bit lately, moving it away from just a place for my music, but also something I can use to show some artwork and web design stuff. I’ll be putting more and more of my drawings, paintings and graphic design work on the new Artwork+Design page. The first thing to go up is this drawing I did a while back. I called it “A Lame Orphan.” I don’t know why. I think it’s a self-portrait:

Little ditty

Just recorded Johnny Cash’s “I Still Miss Someone” with Emil. He’s on violin and I’m on cello/vocals. You can listen to it here.

I tabbed out Romance De Amor

This is a beautiful, yet simple classical guitar piece. I tabbed it out in Guitar Pro 5, and you can find the .gp5 and .pdf files on my Tab/Sheet page. Below is a video so you can hear what it sounds like.

I didn’t make this tab, but I posted it on my Tab/Sheet page anyways. It’s Leo Kottke’s “Cripple Creek.”

Here’s what it sounds like…

Tab for “Sitting On Top of the World”

Just added tab for Sitting On Top of the World on the Tab/Sheet page. This is pretty much the Doc Watson version with some stuff I made up at the end.

Here’s my video again to hear what it sounds like. Maybe it can help if anyone wants to use it to learn along with the tab.

Tablature for Crow River Waltz

I tabbed out Leo Kottke’s Crow River Waltz on my Tab/Sheet page if anyone’s interested. This is my first attempt at tabbing. I used Guitar Pro 5, which is a godsend.
I reposted my video below to go with the tab. It’s in open G tuning. It’s pretty easy, and fun to play. It’s meant to be on a 12-string, but should still sound pretty on a 6-string.
