Macbeth is one of those companies that understands the connection between fashion and music. Rather than designing “rockstar” endorsed clothing simply for profit, they design shoes and clothing that they would want to wear themselves as musicians, artists, and skaters/surfers/bikers. Through the years Macbeth has been very supportive of bands that I have been apart of. I specifically remember wearing a single Macbeth shirt for an entire month after our (Engine Down) van, along with my suitcase full of clothes, was stolen at the beginnning of a tour. So they hold a place dear to my heart.While talking with a Macbeth representative backstage during a Sparta tour, we got past talking about music and started gearing towards future plans. I mentioned I was going to focus on design and less on touring and blaam, the spark ignited. Over a few months we talked about their ideas for a Spring 2009 clothing line. The idea style was based on an apocalyptic age. I was inspired and churned out ideas. Below are the designs that spawned from those ideas. For more on Macbeth and to buy the amazing clothing line go to Macbeth.com. Did I mention they have a vegan shoe?!

For those of you who do not know, Black Iris Studios is a wonderland of creativity. Just about everyone, no actually….everyone, that works there is or has been in a Richmond band that shaped the scene. They all work together to bring you the best tunes to your favorite commercials. Everytime you see a commercial that they have put their music to, you sit and wonder “Who the hell is this great band and how the hell does it fit so perfectly to this ad?” You can learn more about them at http://www.blackiris.tv/

So just to show their commitment to creativity and xmas spirit I wanted to display the xmas gifts that KHEYDESIGN had a part in.

I have been fortunate enough to work with the fine people at consequenceofsound.net. At the moment logo development has been completed by Kheydesign and I just wanted to give you a heads up on the great things to come with this music devoted site. Here is what they are all about.

“Consequence of Sound is a New York and Chicago based, globally influenced music resource that seeks to cover the music world, as it has never been done before. Acting as a news outlet, an interactive community, a festival tracker and technological hotbed, CoS brings the premier music website to the Web 3.0 world.

Since its inception in September 2007, CoS has reported on all of music’s biggest news, introduced the world to great new artists, and broken the lineups for some of the country’s biggest music festivals. Offering a wide array of content, including news, reviews, and other unique, original features, and covering every musical genre, the site has been applauded by a number of noteworthy print and online publications, including New York Magazine, Time Out, MTV, the BBC, USA Today and many, many more. WNEW picked CoS as the station’s first choice for “Best Music Blog” in July 2008. During this past August, Lollapolooza.com featured Consequence of Sound as the only outside coverage on the official website.”

New site to come soon!!

The new Engine Down DVD has been released. I designed the package and was able to print on 100% recycled products. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 

“After nearly a decade of making music, the members of Engine Down chose to play one final tour in the United States, and From Beginning To End chronicles that adventure. The story of Engine Down’s career is revealed in candid conversations with the band members, their peers, and their fans”. 
You can buy it at lovitt.com.

A new social networking website that I was lucky enough to be a part of has launched. The overall design and graphics of the site were my job and I am really excited with the way it turned out. Its a website that allows travelers to see each others travel plans and hook up when in the same town. Super cool. Check it out at jetwerk.com
