Hey there. I’m Kevin & many of my relatives and people I care about are bluegrass players. I moved out to Colorado from New Jersey, and was really glad to see the kinds of appreciation people have for the art and so I thought I’d put my design skills to use by integrating it into the world that I already know.
It’s a design called ‘Go Where The Bluegrass Takes You’, sort of a play on words but more importantly a message to people who are not ‘in the know’ about such things.

I put the design on a t-shirt, which is currently up for voting on the website Threadless.com

for those who don’t know, Threadless is a site full of dedicated designers who compete for their designs to be sold on shirts. It’s got a huge base of fans. I think it’s a great way to spread the message and get people to dig up some old music or try something new (In fact one of the comments says just that!). If it gets a lot of votes then they might print it.
I think it would be sweet to see people getting back to appreciating handmade music. It’s a wonderful art and it fits with my message in general which is that hard work in the arts pays off and makes you a better person no matter what you’re trying to be.
thanks everyone.
