Kevin Morgan Studio did the artwork for the new bus line, GoBus, that travels from Athens to Cincinnati and Columbus.  The design was over 100 foot long and at least 5 foot tall, close to 500 square feet of space to fill, whew.

I’s a towering metal sculpture that was created from one piece of heavy gauged steel, cut and welded together. It is [...]

I think I’m up to 6 album designs now between Jorma’s solo and Hot Tuna combined. Red House Records was kind enough to hire us for Hot Tuna’s new album after doing the [...]
