I started my morning by listening to a 2007 recorded performance of Los Lobos Acoustic En Vivo. What a spirited show. Aside from being a big fan of their music, I've always loved their album cover artwork. Everything is so incredibly well designed. The layouts and photography are stunning and always well balanced. And from the eye of a typography junkie, these guys always do it right.

This image was taken on December 17th, 2010, just days before Emma Hern and the Offenders hit the recording studio to record their first album. I believe in lots of things. One of them is this band. Their music reaches in and touches my soul.
