It’s been some year so far for tour art. To date, I have worked on seven tours for this summer. I can’t tell you which one is my favorite but I’ll tell you they have all been a blast to work on. I am honored to have my illustrations and designs on stage with these people.

If you’re a fan of-Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, Billy Idol or Julianne Hough, now you know a little bit about the behind the scenes stuff like “who in the world designs or illustrates their stage backdrops. My artist “friends” think it’s the most unlikely person on earth, I’m sure.  The process of developing the concept is pretty interesting. I work with some of the most talented people in the business. They come to me with a vision a goal and guildelines and I work with them, the management and the artist to manifest their vision. It’s a bit more involved but in general terms… that’s how it goes.

If you get the chance, go check them out.

Here is a link to the to a large image of “Little Big Town”- drapes and drum riser designs . This one was way out of my “Norm” but what a blast to do.

Working on a big international tour now. I’ll post about it when I get a chance.
