The difference between being a starving artist and a working artist can be as simple as not being excessively haughty about the kind of jobs you take on. That helps explain how I came to own a piece of art by Portsmouth illustrator Pete MacPhee a T-shirt emblazoned with his logo for the annual RiverFire festival in Wakefield before ever knowing his name or his work.
It makes perfect sense that an artist nicknamed the Swamp Yankee would be both industrious and humble enough to do a design for the Wakefield Village Association for a few hundred bucks and a cut of the T-shirt sales, while also creating album covers, tour posters and other illustrated materials for bands ranging from the Dropkick Murphys and Mighty Mighty Bosstones to rock legends Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd.

Near the end of the video for Journey s new single The Way We Used to Be, an animated proxy of guitarist Neal Schon appears to transform into a dung beetle. It would be an odd visual choice if not for the insect s importance in Journey lore, appearing in various fantastical forms on multiple album sleeves.
But why a beetle to begin with? The answer involves another rock giant. We got the job to do a Jimi Hendrix album cover, visual artist Stanley Mouse told NBC Bay Area in 2017, referencing his creative partner Alton Kelley. And just as we finished it, [Hendrix] died, so the album cover never came out.
