Sapiblog - The Official Blog of Sapitot Creative

In an effort to give some well-deserving musical artists exposure to another audience, the Sapiblog will occasionally highlight the activities of our recent clients. By all means, please support these guys, buy a CD, go to a show, show them some love on myspace or your social networking site of choice.

Khorky Custer Khrusty - Our most recent client, who also happens to have put out one of my favorite records of recent memory, Khorky Custer Khrusty Presents the Klangs. With one listen, you’ll be completely hooked on this super-catchy indie rock coming straight out of Kansas City. Myself along with uber-talented illustrator and friend Scott Kaufman designed the packaging of the record, which has been added to the portfolio section. Check Khorky out at his myspace page…www.myspace.com/khorkycusterkhrusty

Mike Grutka - One of Sapitot’s first clients, Mike Grutka is currently racking up a lot of plays on national and independent radio stations across the country with his latest CD, Myself Again. Well deserved for a talented and hard working singer/songwriter, and an all around great guy. I’ve been privileged to design Mike’s last 2 releases and am looking forward to the next time he comes a’knockin. Here’s his website…www.mikegrutka.com Check him out in the NY area. He’s got quite a few shows lined up.

Kyle Moreland - Sapitot Records’ own artist has been noticeably quiet in 2007. After taking a break gigging around the midwest, Kyle settled down in early 2007 to start writing new songs for his next release, and along the way got engaged and married this year! Needless to say, I know a lot of us are looking forward to hearing him back onstage and perhaps on CD in 2008? Time will tell! www.kylemoreland.com

Last, but not least, Lee Bock. Virginia’s best kept secret/country singer/songwriter/nicest IT guy around has just released a new digital-only EP, entitled Self Made Man. This release finds Lee in a very sentimental mood, and he’s captured it perfectly onto tape, or whatever they’re using nowadays. Sapitot was commissioned to design the cover, which is destined to pop up on many an iPod. I also had the pleasure of designing Lee’s first release, both of which can be picked up at CDBaby (Just search under his name). Check out some tunes at his myspace page, www.myspace.com/leebocksongs

There are many other artists who I will update you on in the coming weeks. For now, give these guys a listen and if you like it, pick ‘em up! Tell them Sapitot sent you! As for now, it’s about time for bed. Night!

Currently listening to: Miles Davis - Love Songs

Wow, my first blog. Never thought I would have one of these, but I thought it would be a good way to spruce things up a bit and a method for me to update the new site in-between projects. Portfolio sites can get pretty stale quickly, so the blog will be a great way to communicate more directly than the traditional news posting on the main page. Hopefully you’ll get some insight into my thought processes, thoughts on the newest design trends and developments and probably my personal jaded take on music too. You know, the usual Todd stuff.

I’m currently brainstorming topics for the blog, and I’ve got a good list going. Looking forward to having some fun with this and hope to hear your thoughts back on all the ~pertinent~ topics at hand.

Currently listening to: Raine Maida - The Hunter’s Lullaby
