I was honoured in 2009 to receive a call from Michelle Sukup of Chell Enterprises Inc asking me if I could do the album cover for award winning blues guitarist Steve J's new double album. Album cover art is what got me into being an artist as a boy as I always found it very inspiring so I was thrilled to do this project which involved the design of the CD cover, back, liner notes, as well as the discs themselves.

Creating art for musicians is a passion of mine. Here are some examples of work done for various musicians in the San Antonio area.
