Monthly Album - MAYDAY

BJ's Words:

This artwork had a lot of time and effort put into it. I pulled out 5 records and lined them up along the windows so that I was able to look up and use them as reference as I tried to replicate the look of compilation albums from the 50's. I love this artwork.

For this album BJ asked me to make two magnets which had the stain glass images from the front covers on them. I packaged them up all cute and they looked awesome in the end.

My Thoughts:

With this album it was hard. There were soo many great cover songs out there and I feel that there are some better ones BJ could have picked over others. I enjoy the covers more then the originals mostly but both albums have a good flow.

We'd love to know what you think of MayDay and if you would like a digital copy of the album send me an email silhouettesofknights@gmail.com

Today We Remember - August 2008

In 2008 BJ and I went off to backpack across the globe. We started in July with a week in Hawaii, then another in Seattle before we arrived in LA in August.

We went to the Orange County Fair with our dear friends Sal, Nataly, Jenae and Chris and it was a night we'd never forget... the night we met Samuel.

The men decided to play a skill game were you have to try and throw a baseball into a milk jug.
BJ said and i quote 'No one wins at these games... these stupid carnies rig everything!'

We miss you Samuel, but we couldn't stand between you and your dream of being a secondhand awnings salesman.
