The Platinum-selling rock band The Verve Pipe is one of my all-time favorite bands. One day I decided to take a chance and email the band’s management, asking if they might be interested in me doing a gig poster or something. I didn’t expect to get a response. Over ten years later, I’ve designed for their social media posts, posters, shirts, and — of course — albums. Working for The Verve Pipe and their singer / songwriter Brian Vander Ark is a true labor of love. Maybe someday they’ll break down and just let me be their drummer.
