I've been doing this for longer than I realize...

Looking for something else this evening, I'm finding a bunch of other stuff. Among this 'other stuff' was an CD cover I designed for the California Guitar Trio in 2001.

It is unexciting, but - considering my negligible Photoshop chops at the time - not too shabby execution overall. I should have taken out the 'with special guests' part, but I was trying to mimic reality.


All I can find is this tiny jpg to show you what they ended up using:
