Kyle Blake - Holding Doors, Pulling Out Chairs


It was so much fun to handle the photography and design work of Kyle's entire album.  I was so pleased that we were able to achieve the specific mood that Kyle desired.  Work began by listening to Kyle's music.  Starting with the message he was conveying though his voice, and working from that point on a visual concept allowed us to create artwork that accentuated the message, not flashy visuals that detracted from it.  By approaching the project in this manner Kyle was not only able to speak to his listener's through his lyrics, but also on a completely different level with them visually.  

We wanted to create a warm, intimate feeling with this solo album because of the honest and deeply personal lyrics.  

I'll say it again.  It was a blast!!! Be sure to check it out on iTunes (available soon) or pick up your own hard copy by emailing kyleblake5@gmail.com for details.

NEW NEW NEW!!!

AngellStudios.com becomes the new face of the business I have pursued for a number of years at gavinangell.com.  I had to be patient to acquire the domain, but eventually I was able to obtain it and with the new name comes a new face.

A beautiful flash interface and professional merchant solutions now enable me to run my business closer to the way I have dreamt about since I first brought my work online.  

Stick around for more updates as I continue to make adjustments to the site and begin this blog space.
