Track Recording!

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Hey everyone - it sure has been quiet on this blog of late. Travis has been crazy busy touring, moving to Miami and everything else in between (including getting a new dog called Stitch - see pic (who is kinda cute!) - and playing the Hip Hop Honors).

Tomorrow morning Travis is catching the 6.3oam flight from CT back to Miami where he’s gonna be hooking up with the Smeezingtons and laying down his new track specially for Staying Alive.

James and Georgia have gone over there to keep tabs on it all. James will be filming a few bits in the studio for the documentary (which by the way is almost ready!).

Stay tuned for updates and pics!

Joshua Clay to Design Track Artwork

Monday, September 28th, 2009

So, as many of you will know, we ran a competition a few weeks back on cool creative site Society6 to find an artist to design the cover of Travie’s new track.

We recieved 193 entries and the standard was super high. Props to everyone that took the time to submit their portfolio.

Anyway, when it came down to it, it was Josh Clay’s work that really stood out. Now I know he’s done stuff for GCH in the past but when we saw these paintings - below - we knew he was the guy for the job.

Josh Clays work

BUT we  also want to give special shout outs to the close contenders, whose work we also love:

X&R Creative

Agent Adjacent

Defi The Norm

Josh will be working with Trav to come up with a vision once the track is complete. Stay tuned!
