My old friend Klintron is just about to release his first noise album. Popjellyfish illustrated the cover.

What I worked on here was coloring the artwork, choosing the color scheme, creating the logo, package design, plus I also customized a WordPress theme for the website.

The album itself is noise, so it isn’t for the uninitiated. I’ve made the joke, probably a little too often, that anyone can be a noise musician since it is essentially impossible to be bad at making it. Yet after giving Return to the Wasteland a listen to try and get a feel for the kind of design I should do, I found myself wanting to listen to it over and over again. My girlfriend said it sounds like a haunted house, so thats maybe why I like it, being from New England and all. Remembering is my favorite track. That and the rest of the album feels like a meditative stroll through the irradiated desert left behind after an ancient nuclear holocaust on another planet. Inasmuch soothing as it is bristling with aftershocks of toxicity and lost dreams.

Speaking of Klint, his site went back to being called Technoccult recently, which I am pretty stoked about. He starting using the old logo I designed for it again, and he also designed a pretty kickass theme for his site which complements perfectly. It really feels satisfying for me to look at.

If you are in Portland, you should go to his CD Release show at The Parlour tomorrow night.

Continue after the jump to see the back cover design for Return to the Wasteland and screenshot of the WP theme.

Keep a lookout on the Psychetect website to purchase the album, its just $2.50!

Behold!

Recently he made a pretty awesome post on his blog about a t-shirt design he was making for Dave, its a funny and insightful view into the painful world of being a creative for hire. Take a look.

Back in the day I used to come home from a long hard day at the porn store and Ryan would be up at 4AM reading and drawing comics, then we would go get some Rodeo Burgers at Burger King. How fondly I look back onto these simpler times.

Anyways, you should subscribe to his blog. His work has a really rich satisfying quality, and his personality shines through in all of it.

I really need to get on some ink brush work!

Thanks Ryan!
