Sketch Takes on the Boxx

I'm not a big fan of Hip Hop music (in fact, it's specifically outlawed in the Destructoville city charter), but I want to direct your attention to this well-written and insightful blog on the Houston Chronicle website written by my buddy, Jason.

97.9 KBXX's Hip Hop 4 HIV: Right Cause, Wrong Reward

This is Bellini at his best, and definitely worth the read for an eye-opening view into the world of Hip Hop (especially for all you parents out there).

iTunes, Baby!!!!

Last week I told you that Lori K's new album (which I did the art direction on) was on Amazon and some other lesser, crappier online music services. Don't get me wrong - it's really cool that she's on there. But it's no iTunes.

But you know what is? iTunes, baby!!!! That's right - Lori K's album, Southern Roots, is now available for download on iTunes!!!!

Awesome.

Lori K on Amazon

A CD I did the art direction on is now available for digital download on Amazon.com!

My friend Lori self-produced a Gospel CD and gave me the opportunity to do the cover art, CD design and photography. The photos were shot in her front pasture one chilly day in March. They had a bumper crop of bluebonnets this year, and it made for a nice shot.

She said it's also on Napster and eMusic.

The CD was released in disc form in limited release a couple of months ago. It's pretty cool that it's available for download now, as well. It was already going into my portfolio, but this clinches it.

Way to go, Lori!!!
