Having been hired for session work at Red Zone Studios in Los Angeles, I met musician/producer Bob Kulick. We became friends and after taking courses in graphic design he asked if I would design a cover for on of his albums Tribute To Metallica CD Metallic Assault, which led to the 2nd album design Metallic Attack.
Metallic Attack received a GRAMMY in the Metal Category for Motorheads “Whiplash” cover. When Bob called to share the good news, my response was “Congratulations, I’m so proud of you!!!” His response was delayed… then he said “Um Joey…. you got one too”. WHAT??? I had no idea that was possible. Apparently everyone involved with the production, including the art, gets recognition.
