  The most hilarious, warm, and down-to-earth band I’ve ever known is @bootblacks. I’m happy to call these talented fookers friends. I’ve seen them rise through great album after album, seen them play in multiple countries and even had the pleasure of doing a Berlin show with them. They asked me last year to design the artwork for their upcoming record, THIN SKIES and I was thrilled. The process ever since was full of mutual exchange, fun collaboration, and great ideas.

I hope we all get through this. But we'll have to uproot everything first.
