Hugh Brown has been doing music packaging for a long time as an art director, photographer, and designer. Long enough for him to have done cassettes, 45s, LPs, CDs, box sets and long boxes, but not long enough to have done 8-tracks or 78s. He was once Creative Director of Rhino Records, the most successful archival and reissue label in the world, where he got to do many elaborate packages, some of which won awards, and many of which done without artist “input,” seeing as how they were dead.

Hugh Brown makes things. Mainly things to look at. Sometimes things to touch, listen to, or turn pages in. Sometimes they’re useful. Sometimes they’re not. Sometimes they look like they were made by other people. More often than not, they involve chainsaws.
