Aaron Edge Art: CD of the day:

Somehow, I never posted these images from the Bluebird discography that I designed for the band... an awesome project that I am so stoked to have been part of.

Bio:

Aaron was born in 1973 and grew up riding bmx bikes and skateboards, spray painting walls, and getting into an expected amount of trouble. As a military brat, his family moved around a lot, so it made sense that he later traveled the country many times over performing in his own rock bands. His formal education was in Richmond Virginia for fine art school at VCU, and then he graduated from the Art Institute of Philadelphia near the top of his class. Aaron has been an art director more times than can be counted on one hand, though less than two. He has designed hundreds of CD and record covers, and created posters and t-shirts for bands and musicians, artists, brands and labels around the globe. He lives in Oregon, but plans a new life in London this summer… here’s to new adventures!
