A great deal of my illustration and design work has been connected to the music industry. I am myself a musician, who has often been commissioned to do posters and marketing pieces for music groups I have been involved with, as well as for my own releases. This gallery is a sampling of my design and illustration work for CD and album releases, concert promotion, and other music-related materials.

Multimedia painting on music score paper. Ink, watercolor, brush pens, watercolor markers.
I occasionally do art on music score paper, in this manner, as a way of "breaking open the box." Some of these music-themed pieces on paper are decorative, some can be read as scores for playing music, some are both.
For example, a musician friend has made a recording of her "performance" of this "score."
