New Johnnyrook Promo Photos

I just posted some new promo photos for our friends in Johnnyrook. It was pouring rain, so we had to make it quick… but we got a few cool shots in the 10 minutes we were able to be outside.

Quickie Update…

Hey friends!

Lotsa good stuff going on, here’s a quick update…

Our buds Jonah Matranga & Attention are on tour in the UK for 2 weeks! We’re excited we got to be a part of this, working on merch for both artists, as well as the tour posters.

I’ll also be working on some promo photos with Minneapolis heavy-hitters The Body Beneath, The Harlan, High Hopes, and For Blood!

Ryan has been busy working on some concept stuff for a new nightclub in Des Moines. We’ll release more info, along with his creations in the near future.

I’m itching to do some more album artwork. Drop me a line if you need it!

Drift Effect Release This Weekend

Our pals in Drift Effect will be releasing their new album “the Center: An Acoustic Album” this weekend. I had the honor of working on the album art and complete release campaign with these guys… CD package, t-shirts, stickers, buttons, posters, handbills, MySpace site & online store. I had a blast doing it, they were are a lot of fun to work with. I was able to attend a listening party on Saturday, and the record is really cool. Their release show is April 19 @ Trocaderos in Minneapolis. Check them out at myspace.com/drifteffect.

Talk to you soon! -Brad

3 New Records DONE!

Hey pals…

I just finished up 3 new records.

First was the new Johnnyrook EP, “Nameless Ghost”. It’s primarily an industry-only release so the packaging is minimal, but I feel like it’s still a strong presentation. It’s an amazing recording, you can stream the entire thing at myspace.com/johnnyrook.

Next, there was the debut record from The Sky & The Execution, “…And We Choke Down The Eucharist Of Venom”. Personally, I believe this is my favorite project I have done so far. These guys are near and dear to me, and this record is 110% passion. It definitely means a lot to me to be a part of what they do.

Finally, the live & acoustic record from Minneapolis’ Drift Effect. Definitely a cool project to work on. They had a lot of good ideas already in place for what they wanted the concept to be, so I just rolled in that direction. They’re pretty excited about it, and they were great to work with.

Samples of all this stuff can be found here.

I promise I’ll be updating this a little more frequently, so keep checking back!

Now… I’ve got merch to do! Thanks for all the love, Brad

Long time, no update…

Hi friends, Happy New Year from theartprojekt.com!

I’ve been busy working with some longtime clients such as Attention and The Sky And The Execution.  We recently wrapped up album art, tour merch & posters, and a bunch  of random stuff for Attention as they hit the road on Spitalfield’s farewell tour.  The Sky And The Execution are about to wrap up the recording process for their debut album, “…And We Choke Down The Eucharist Of Venom”.  I’m about to get started on their packaging and all that goes along with the release!

‘Til next time…  -Brad 

 

Kickdrums complete!

We just finished up some kickdrum head for The Sky And The Execution and Destrophy! Check our portfolios for some product shots. Shout out to our friends at Shine Drums for the TS&TE head!

2 down, plenty more to go!

We recently finished up a few of the album projects we had been working on.

Ryan finished his project with Nik Sorak And The Dead Wait. Album art, tour poster and merch design. I added a little bit to it by using Ryan’s designs to rework the band’s MySpace site and press kit. Everything is back from production and we’re all pretty stoked about it. If you haven’t done so yet, please check out their music at myspace.com/niksorak.

I also finished a project for some old friends of mine called Nuisance. Album art, postcard, release show poster, tour poster, and MySpace redesign. I was able to check out their release show and they rocked the place.

Ryan is currently working on album artwork for Emmett Brown (MN), Left Of Center (IA), and Within Tragedy (IA). Look for those to be complete in September.

Back to work for now, but please check out our portfolios to see our latest designs!

In production

The Nik Sorak And The Dead Wait & Nuisance records are both at the manufacturer as we speak!  We actually got to see Nik’s CD’s today, prior to finishing the packaging.  It looks very cool.  We had it printed with no base coat so the different shades of blue combined with the silver from the CD face give it really nice, different look.  Samples of both of these records are in our portfolios, click the links on the right!

Finishing up some album artwork…

We’ve just started on a wealth of new projects for some bands, after finishing up the previous batch of goods.

I’m excited to be working on a record release project for Nuisance. I’m handling the EP artwork along with all promotional materials (posters, postcards, banners, etc.), as well as a Myspace overhaul. Everything should be wrapped up in the next week.

Ryan just finished the album art for Nik Sorak & The Dead Wait. I gotta say, it’s awesome. He’ll be working on some matching promo materials as well. Ryan also has a couple more records coming up shortly that he’ll be putting his creative stamp on.

Samples of this stuff will be posted soon!
