album cover designs & photographs with comments by the artist

A two-page collage the was the background for text in the 32-page book insert for Duchess of Coolsville. On the left, Rickie and Tom Waits
from a Polaroid that I found among Rickie's photographs. The red sticker in the upper left corner is from a "Miracle Fish" novelty. I changed
it to read "Miracle Mile," which was a landmark location in Rickie's life. The peacock sketch and poem "Hello Atlas" was something Rickie
drew on a napkin one day when we were having lunch to discuss the anthology. The manila paper and tape were scanned from things I found
in Rickie's study. The right photo is of Rickie and Sal Bernardi during the Pirates recording.
