Jesse Smathers

Self Titled (Bluegrass)

Jesse approached me to do the art for his album after seeing my Trad Music Superhero illustration series. The inspiration was taken from mid-century comic book style art that conveyed the loose and playful nature that Jesse brought to the project. I wanted to also portray something of a “superhero” feel to the art and packaging, as the musicianship and guest artists are impressive! Loved working with Jesse, love listening to the album.

Recording an album is a big undertaking, and the final project deserves the look & feel that tells a visual story to go along with the music experience. I’ve had the privilege of working with top-notch music artists to create album art and packaging to best showcase their recordings.
