Once a song is written, the cover art is developed. This is not easy for me as I am not very adept at graphic art.

I am lucky in that I do have a couple of friends who are, and thankfully they are usually willing to help out.

I send the basic idea in a rough sketch. In turn, they will send back their interpretation. This process usually goes on for several days, even weeks.

Here’s an example for the cover art of a yet to be released song – Grandpa’s Chevy Sleigh. A Christmas song about a man who builds a half 1957 Chevy and half rusty sleigh flying machine.

After some discussion, next came this image.

In the next iteration, the details begin to emerge. It’s beginning to look like a CD cover.

Here is the final CD cover artwork. It turned out fantastic!

Here are a few other covers that have been released.

The creative process is always fun thanks to my good friends!
