This project was super fun to work on. It is the second CD design I've done in recent months.<br /><p>The next big project is a book cover for Rig: An Oral History of the Ocean Ranger Disaster written by Mike Heffernan. Once that's completed I'll be devoting many, many months to creating my own body of work/paintings.</p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6004438628853359471-3676657624520966149?l=hatredofhabitandroutine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Darren Whalenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17004135983307351692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004438628853359471.post-30031027904993363432007-09-09T13:56:00.000-07:002007-09-25T20:00:12.873-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ak5idDdahgg/RvnFPK1WfnI/AAAAAAAAAB4/dmAjUZRiW1Q/s1600-h/Pile+of+skulls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114335716252745330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ak5idDdahgg/RvnFPK1WfnI/AAAAAAAAAB4/dmAjUZRiW1Q/s400/Pile+of+skulls.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>This is a sketch I did for a tattoo design.
