Matt Maher is a really good singer/songwriter. I am honored to be art-directing the packaging for his new album. It’s going to be a big job and a lot of work, but there’s such potential to share the love of God through his music. You can’t hear the music by looking at the CD cover, but it can entice you to listen. Then I let Matt Maher do his thing.

I found a super-talented young illustrator on the Internet. A few months I revisited his site (for inspiration) and realized he is local. So I sent the link to Matt M. Six hours later, we were sitting down planning the cover art for the CD. I feel like a big kid. It’s so exciting to see ideas come together and get out there.

When you are raised in a small town, you get to watch the world on television, but you never get to play in it. It’s not like that for me anymore. Yeah I’ve been on TV a lot, but that’s not what I am talking about. That’s fun, but making something with my own hands and watching it fly away. That is pure joy.

I am so excited I could do a backflip! Woo hooooooooo!

(Now that I typed that, could read “whoa ho.” For the record, that’s not what I was saying.)
