Tools of the trade - Mark O’Connor’s Martin D28 (1945)

 

This is Mark O'Connor's 1945 D28. I did design and lettering for the jacket of his 1978 guitar album "Markology". For the back cover, my housemate (a professional photographer) took a portrait of Mark, printed it and worked the print in through the sound hole (not as easy as dropping a pick in there). We took out the end pin and placed a stiff wire in behind the print to hold it as flush to the top as possible while he snapped this photo.
