Nathan Johnson

Welcome to my daily blog.
This is where I post things I'm currently working on and thinking about.
I write songs, score films, produce bands, and make visual art and photographs.

I lead a sprawling band/art collective called The Cinematic Underground and run a small independent record label called Cut Narrative . I'm also an artist at The Made Shop with my brothers Marke and Zachary. Twitter @NTJohnson

Lipp, St. Germain, Paris. Last Summer. Of all the foods, French is my favorite. And of all French foods, it’s hard to beat escargot. I could eat this every day for lunch. If not for the price tag.

themadeshop: Oh, and we also made this cover for their iTunes live pass a little while ago. I don’t think we ended up posting it here though — so here it is. (p.s. that’s me fixing the (self-wired, finicky, and probably dangerous) fluorescent tube signs Nathan and I made.)

themadeshop: The Fray has a new deluxe version of their album out, so we made a new variation of our cover for them.

themadeshop: …oh, and the new spinesheet… I think we’ve probably designed over ten (published) versions and variations of this album!

If you have the choice between the two, I recommend Lipp.

My good friend Desirea is on the Isle of Skye experimenting with HDR photography. The photo above isn’t edited or adjusted, apart from the blending of a few different frames taken with different exposures. More here. (via pennybird)

Katie Chastain, New Haven. From the latest Pennybird photoshoot. Vintage dresses via Amanda and Artifaktori. Our good friend and makeup artist Courtney missed the shoot due to a family emergency, so we improvised. Katie had a killer hair idea for this which involved sculpting around a toilet paper roll. That’s my girl!
