Shout out for COLORS
Now Hear This… Kira Willey, my uber-talented musician client, sings her original song, COLORS, in a recent Dell commercial. COLORS hails from Kira’s award-winning debut album Dance for the Sun (Dec 2006) featuring 13 songs written, composed and sung by Kira and her musical family and friends. The album CD package was designed and illustrated by yours truly.
Dance for the Sun is sheer delight. Really. The tracks kept me juiced with inspiration as I worked on the art. Though it’s filled with original songs and yoga fun geared toward children and families, many of the songs have universal appeal. Not a surprise that COLORS was picked for the Dell ad.
Kira’s full recording and video of COLORS can be found here.

This is magnificent – the art and the music. That’s so cool about the Dell ad! I’ve been looking for a music CD to play underneath while I teach (teaching art to elementary school) and this seems perfect.

Jenna,
Cool news, eh? I had no idea until Kira told me. (I hardly watch TV.) Glad you chimed in about the album! Mahalo for visiting!
David,
So happy you found my little blog, outside the SCBWI boards. Thanks for your comments on the art and music. It’s great to hear from teachers and fellow illustrators, like yourself. Thanks for stopping by!
