Mr. Mister Miyagi graphics

I did some more graphics for 80s/New Wave karaoke live band Mr. Mister Miyagi.
These band member images are based on photos provided by the band.

This is a more horizontal version of the logo I did for them previously.


Find Mr. Mister Miyagi on Facebook, their website or among a fine group of live karaoke and tribute bands over at Palindrome Entertainment.

Red Wilder Blue CD package

Here is a CD package I did a fairly quick design for.
It is an album recorded in the 1970's now finally being released, thanks to the son of one of the musicians and the spirit of Christmas.
Pretty cool gift.

Spock's Beard - only 2010 US appearance

I had the fortune of seeing Spock's Beard last night.

Allegedly, Nick D'Virgilio only has the month of September off from his day job as a drummer for Cirque du Soleil; just enough time for a brief tour of Europe (which is probably more fruitful for a progressive rock band than slogging around the massive United States where prog fans are scattered, too few and far in between).

Luckily Jim Harrel was able to get them to do one show in their approximate home-central area.

I didn't bring my camera because they were banned at the last show I attended at this venue. This time, it turned out photography was discouraged, but allowed (sans flash, of course). So what you see here are some mediocre cell phone shots from my excellent, 2nd row, center seat.

Gazilcher and the new music page

I changed the Music link on the main menu at bobkurthy.com

It now leads to a basic page (work in progress) of my music related stuff (music players, videos, links, etc.), rather than funneling directly into the semi-moribund MySpace profile as before.

My solo-plus-guests music project is now called Gazilcher.

Gazilcher can be found on MySpace, Soundcloud and Facebook.

Post-It™ note album art

I have a piece posted in the Post-it™ note album cover art gallery on the mini-site for The Pineapple Thief's new album Someone Here is Missing.

If you want to spot mine, it's the only one with 4 colors (so far).

I quickly sketched it out from memory, using whatever pens & pencils were at my desk. After submitting it, I looked up the original, and of course I was way off.

While your there, check out some samples from the new album. It's the best stuff I've heard from them yet.

BlowUpBlow videos

Paul Zanzler has assembled 2 videos of our band BlowUpBlow* (2003-2008) compiled from photographs, video and artwork.

One is for It's Time; a song that was often a live show closer/favorite. We did a great recording of at The Compound studio in Long Beach, CA. Unfortunately it was never finally mixed, mastered nor released...



The 2nd video features an audio track that for a song we were laboring over off and on for a long time during the twilight of the band's run. It may sound trebly, but, hey, it was just a practice recording, quite possibly on cassette...Visually, this is a pretty good nostalgic overview slide show. Personally, I felt that we were creating music better than that of each our previous bands.




*If you're new, I was the drummer in this band, and did the artwork for the releases, merch, flyers, etc.
