Larry Vigon + David Ellis: Aquean

Larry Vigon built his name at the center of rock history, designing more than 200 iconic album covers for artists including Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Counting Crows, Bonnie Raitt, and Eric Clapton, earning induction into the Album Cover Hall of Fame in 2020. Today, the Santa Barbara-based designer and fine artist channels that same visual instinct into books, posters, and gallery work, all of which are shaped by decades of curiosity, music, and image-making.

David Ellis began as a studio session musician, playing drums for Eric Common, Tom Snow, and B.B. King and Charles Brown.  He moved towards a career in photojournalism before moving into environmental and fine art photography. His award-winning series Lobospheres earned international recognition, including a 2025 Gold Award at the Japan International Art Exchange in Tokyo, and reflects his evolution into photographic expressionism—reshaping coastal landscapes into emotional terrain that complements Vigon’s design-driven sensibility and underscores a long friendship rooted in shared creative curiosity.
