the above slideshow is a selection of custom-designed covers for the afternoons in stereo albums as well as the ongoing URBAN MODERNISTS series, a collection of compilations assembling the new music that gets played on my radio show.

please note: these collections are for personal use only, and are not sold or traded for profit under any circumstances.

these designs are courtesy of GVD, my full-time gig as a graphic designer. if you would like to learn more about GVD or view more artwork and portfolio specimens including flash and web design please visit:

Influences: i gravitate towards music that has a unique sound and a distinct groove. whether it's future jazz or electronic music, funk or rare groove, modal or soul jazz ... it all has to just move me. i like a certain sort of production sound, one that is warm and organic but has space and texture.

i love warm brass and energetic percussion, i look for passionate playing done with a discerning ear -- a good musician knows when to leave space for silence as well as how to fill the canvas with colour!

listen to my radio show, 'urban modernists', and you'll hear exactly what influences me.
