Not his first foray into the PJ world. Most notable is his cover art on Jeff's "While my Heart Beats". He also did the DeLuna Fest '12 poster with Sean Cliver.

Coincidentally, years ago he donated this plate to the "Nike 6.0 Lightning Bolts Art Auction". Even has the same color scheme!

    I love Don's work. Definitely planning to collect a few prints once my Klausen collection is complete. Love this one and I hope he gets commissioned to do some PJ this tour... :D

    Can anyone post any of his work that is the same style as the album cover? I am not seeing anything too similar. Thanks!

    Wow, didn't know he did the artwork. He is a great artist, and very nice individual.
    Coincidentally, he participated in our wooden heart event to help raise funds for a former student and bring awareness to organ donation. Again, he kind of kept the same color scheme!

    Ever since While My Heart Beats came out, I've actually had his website bookmarked thinking maybe I'd buy a print. Maybe he'll do some more posters this tour?

    Seeing his take on the entire tracklist has been great. It's like every song is a single! I'm going to make sure the individual artwork shows up for each one when I play it thru iTunes, rather than your standard singular cover image that is used for every song on a given album.

    I saw him perform in Vegas 3 years ago.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Digging around for a thread similar to my idea: here goes. Does anyone see the similarity between Pendleton's artwork for PJ and the artwork on Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" T-shirt by Storm Thorgerson?
