This past week I had the pleasure of attending super-producer J.J. Brown’s album release party. Incase you have been living under a rock, I illustrated and designed the album artwork. J.J.’s concept was based on the old Connect the Dots, how-to drawings from our childhood. This was a lot of fun because I got to illustrate all of the amazing artists that worked on the project that have been connected to J.J. through his 10+ year career in the music industry. Some of the artists I was blessed to illustrate I had been a fan of for many years and grew up listening to, like Craig G, and others are recent favorites like Louis Logic and Celph Titled. Throughout the process the Connect the Dots theme became even more relevant as I was fortunate to meet, connect and become friends with others that worked on this amazing project like the super talented Jonny October, Block McCloud and Big Lu. J.J. assembled a great supporting cast of musicians and talent and the album, Connect the Dots, is well worth your support. So run down to Best Buy today or order your copy online! he release party was held at the legendary SOB’s in NYC and featured amazing performances by J.J., Louis Logic, Block McCloud, Jonny October, Craig G and more. I will be posting video soon so stay tuned.
The album art I illustrated can currently be seen lighting up 6th Ave in NYC in the window of the legendary FatBeats Records.
A close up.
The official Connect the Dots album release party cake. I never had my artwork on a cake before. This was pretty exciting. I didn’t get a piece so I am not sure if it tasted as good as it looked.
The man of the hour- J.J. Brown, myself and the one and only- Louis Logic!!!
