About Me


"You did a wonderful job. Thanks for the great work."
CAROLYN ARENDS, SINGER / SONGWRITER
“Great skills and great value Brent brings his unique touch to everything he does.”
ROY SALMOND, AUDIO PRODUCER & OWNER, WHITEWATER PRODUCTIONS
“A fantastic product that’s very pleasing to the eye. His artistry is first rate. He paid attention to all the smaller details. I highly recommend his work.”
MICHAEL HART, SINGER / SONGWRITER
"He's a great listener. He quickly "gets it" and then delivers what you need. By "need" I mean he'll take it beyond what you thought possible. If you want your CD graphics to stand out and at the same time reveal the music within, hire him —the guy's a genius.”
SPENCER CAPIER, SINGER / SONGWRITER
“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the great job you did. Not only did you take my ideas into consideration but you surpassed anything I could have ever imagined for this project cover. People see it and just want to pick it up and take a closer look! Obviously, this is helping sales! Thanks again for the super design. I’m looking forward to working with you on the next one!”
CINDI UMSTADT, SINGER / SONGWRITER
"Thanks so much for your work on this. It's really come together well. You did a great job of hearing my vision and then creating something artful from it. Kudos!!!!
KEITH KITCHEN, SINGER / SONGWRITER
"I am blown away, I just love it. I don't think I could be any happier with your ideas and design, this has exceeded my expectations. Thanks!"
EJ MAROIS, SINGER / SONGWRITER
Wouldn't it be great to find a designer who "gets it"?
Someone who is as excited as you are about your upcoming CD. And has the design skills to breathe life into a dead plastic box!
Hi. I'm Brent Flink and I have a passion to help indie musicians succeed!
Put my experience to work for you.
My 20 years experience as an advertising art director, coupled with my design and production abilities means that you get effective ideas. Not just ideas that'll look nice; ideas that help sell your music!

Brent Flink: Design-Guy & Fearless Imaginator
Part technophile, part creative strategist and part word smith. (that's a lotta' parts...) Brent's 20 years design experience mean he gets down to business quickly! He understands customers and how to sell product.
I love to be around people who know who they are and what they're about. Creative people (musicians, actors, writers, directors and poets) fascinate me. I can't get enough of 'em! I love talkin' about life and the meaning of it all. Music, art, philosophy, and theology... I'm also a bit of a movie nut and love a well-written story. Let me know if you've seen anything noteworthy lately and I'll return the favour!

Influences: I am a designer. But I've got iTunes going all the time.
Lately, I've been listening to: (in no particular order)

• Amos Lee,
• Belle & Sebastian,
• Coldplay
• David Wilcox
• Django Rheinhardt
• Jars Of Clay
• Lylle Lovett
• Layton Hawerton
• Shawn Colvin
• Sufjan Stevens
• John Prine
• Leo Kottke
• Third Day
• Gillian Welch.

...and of course, Carolyn Arend's album "Pollyanna's Attic".
Sounds Like: To really hear what Brent sounds like you'd have to call him up.

He's at 604.720.1778 just about all the time. What you'll likely hear is him asking to hear a few tracks, read the lyrics and generally "climb into your head" so he can try to put relevant visuals to your unique sound.Go on. Try it.
