This year's New Year's resolution is to post more "Backstories" behind some of the album art and other things I've done. My opening salvo goes way back to the very beginning of my career. Rewind...

It's hard to believe #TomPetty passed away five years ago on October 2. Today is his birthday and I spun some of my favorites this morning. I wrote this appreciation piece when I first heard the bad news. I loved Tom Petty, his band, and his music...

I had a wonderful convo on an Australian podcast about #Album cover #design and my work in that field. Philosophy, no-no's, and favorites...it's all here!

Even though it made my #summer #playlist long before, I can't help but smile when seeing the "I💓NY Summer" commercial featuring @ChuckProphet's fabulous "Summertime Thing"....

I love our latest podcast. It is on a new doc called "The Album," which digs deep into album cover #design , strategy, and loads of great stories. If you ever wondered what it is I do — and what I love — this one's for you! https://t.co/g22zDMS726

On this day, a poster I designed for the must-see #Documentary film "#DisarmHate."

[Steven Jurgensmeyer @stevejcreative]

It is shocking to see this #album cover I designed for @RounderRecords and @stophandguns still sadly relevant today. Let's do something about this...

@NelsonFiona Hey there! Can you DM me?

[Steven Jurgensmeyer @stevejcreative]

I did many, many CD covers/packages for Mickey, including Planet Drum. Little known fact: on most occasions, Mickey would send me a dozen roses upon completion. Since there weren't many Deadheads at Rykodisc, I caught some shit here....😂

[Mickey Hart @mickeyhart]

On today's #TBT were throwing it back to when Mickey & Planet Drum appeared in the October 1991 issue of Relix.

Had a great time working with @vakiliband for their latest album cover! Indie artists rock...give me a shout for art work and support independent artists. https://t.co/KgjuGbIouw

Man, I love baseball. But I hope every agent, every owner, every player, every tv and radio station and every fan is reading the news headlines today. Figure it out, or FU.

My review of"The Hacienda" is @allmusicbooks Feature Review.
"A caveat: I’m not a fan of Joy Division, New Order, acid house or rave music. You might think, then, I’d be pre-disposed to hate this book. You’d be wrong. I loved it."

Definitely one of the best recent Christmas records I've heard in awhile. And that cover just kicks a whole lot of ass...Kudos @hitidetweets !

Listening to a lot of reggae music with the passing of Robbie Shakespeare. Five years ago, I wrote this piece on the state of reggae music. Read the comments — I got A LOT of pushback — but now, more than ever, I stand behind my take.
