Meet the ever so lovely and sweet Jackie Brubaker.  She is an LA based singer/songwriter. I met Jackie at a gig that was in a cutting edge music lovin' broken in rock modern salon.   There I was just introduced to her as an amazing illustratro/desginer, and she was introduced to me as an amazing singer/songwriter.  Put those two together and you've got two creatives smashed into a energetic duo.  The entire production process of designing together was a cruise, just as the tracklist of this album plays: smooth for a coastal cruise.  

Jackie's got that pop country folk twang and the soft sweet duo op reminiscent country love ballad feel to this album.  So in the description that was given, the vision was to develop an album jacket that described the simple days of life, and the memorable days of jammin' with the band on the porch on a lazy sunny California afternoon. In this album we can escape into the sweet smells of spring, the simple sounds of an old porch, and the calm breezy easy nights retreating away from city life.  Sewn into each song the sounds of home life and nature around us can be heard.  The challenge was capturing an image and layout that displayed the same ambiance the music plays.

Jackie's favorite colors are: whites, creams, hay, and peach.
The color palette for this album was inspired by breakfast, sunny days, and the natural summer days around the house.  Just so happens that I've been fairly inspired by these colors as well.  So with my inspiration and her favorites the color palette for this album was inspired by breakfast, sunny days, and the natural summer days around the house.  One moment of the day that continually captures my eyes are in words that Mufasa said to Simba.  "everything the light touches."

My personal favorite songs of this album are Home, Soldier, Like the Movies, and Fall for You.
You can get a listen in here at JackieBrubaker.com

I am so proud to continually meet gifted creatives and am continually inspired.

This past weekend was our last workday of the year for Compton Initiative.  We were at Roosevelt Middle School and Compton High. Thousands of volunteers came out to repaint the entire school's exterior, and a about 200 volunteers came to paint and boldly brighten up Roosevelt's campus with 3 murals.  Thanks to the entire leadership team; these days never happen without you.  Kudos for finishing the year off strong as our lieutenants and leaders.  Check out what we did on Saturday October 15, 2011.in the mural department. I personally had the privilege to re-vectorize the school pledge, and design the We Are Roosevelt Mural.  Thank you to my clean-up artists: Ruthy and Audra.!!!
