The NY reading for the feautre film Creedmoria is happening on June 10th, 2009 At The Players Club NY.

From The Vault : Alan Moore

All the Watchmen hype and publicity reminded me of this design of Alan Moore I did awhile back. While many of his works have been translated from comic book to the big screen, he famously distances himself from them and passes his financial proceeds to the books illustrator. One of his classic DC stories [Here]

Secondly, The Motherbox will be [this year] a catalog of source music for scoring film, television, video games and other mediums.

Louder Than Words Cover

Revision A : 1/22/2009

Album cover artwork concept for Louder Than Words by Arun Luthra & Rachel Eckroth. The album is a saxophone-piano collaboration between the duo and goes on sale in early 2009. The design is an interpretation of both the title and the 'shape' of the music. It was also important to have a visual that would be eye catching, especially when shrunken down on iTunes and other on-line music sites.
