Jubal's Kin
I had the privilege of working with my friends Gailanne, Roger & Jeffrey Amundsen
in the design of their debut CD album "Jubal's Kin".
Working with them on the design was dream and I am SO excited for them.
To learn more about them visit their website and be sure to listen to some audio clips of some of their songs. I just love their music & I know you will too!
Their album will be available on iTunes and Amazon in the next few days.
We used a lot the artwork I already had so you might recognize a lot of it.
I learned so much from this project
and had so much fun playing around with all the elements we used.
To celebrate the recent release of their CD I'm having a little giveaway today!
Please leave your name and where you're from on the comments section of this post
to win a "Jubal's Kin" cd & a signed print of my original illustration
"Forever" that we used for the cover.
This is a poster I designed for them with a space for their gig info.
I will announce a winner next Monday morning!
Hope you have a great weekend friends!
Update: *Comments are now closed. I will announce a winner later today :)
