In addition to the visual arts, I play several instruments, including the pedal steel guitar and the accordion, and am a member of two bands, one of which is my solo project, My Unborn Children. I self-released my first album under this moniker, titled Foolish, in January of 2008. It was self-recorded and produced, and I also screen printed all of the packaging for the CD. The CD case includes a booklet sewn inside which folds out into a screen printed poster. For my release show, I printed large geese on the same paper I used for the CD inserts to pin behind me as I played. There are 130 copies of the album with all of the printed packaging in addition to 70 copies with just a printed sleeve. I believe that visual art and music are closely linked, and I have always felt an affinity for both.
