Progressive rock with all the sophistication of classical music. Do you see it?

Having heard the evolution of some of David C. Deal’s recordings that eventually comprised Transformations, I consider it an honor to have been put to the task of creating the six-panel digipak album artwork of the full feature album. David had originally hired another artist to create an album mock-up during the final months of Transformations’ production, which although the final product looks and feels drastically different, proved to be a valuable visual inspiring factor.

Over the course of a few weeks, I continually listened to the Transformations recordings in their beta stages while poring over my own drafts and outlines of the artwork. By the end of a six week period, and many revisions, Transformations was finished. After an agonizing (but comparatively short) industry turn around time of about fourteen days, Transformations was finally in our hands. I feel especially proud to have had this opportunity on account of not only an outstanding autobiographical work, but also on account of some of the outstanding musicians who I consider friends. This is the second album of David’s that I have had the privilege of creating the album art for.
