NEVILLE GARRICK...FROM BOB MARLEY TO MAX!! THE EXODUS!

When Max was working on Primitive, he selected Bob Marley and the Wailer’s artist, Neville Garrick, to design the cover, the cd booklet and the campaign. Max was deep into researching Jamaican music and feeling quite spiritual from the previous years’ experiences. He wanted the artwork to be representative of his feelings.



Neville was a graduate of UCLA, who also had played on their football team. After graduating he relocated to Jamaica. Neville soon became the illustrator behind Bob Marley’s biggest albums, backdrop and also designed the backdrop for Reggae Sunsplash.




After Soulfly 3 was created, with Neville again at the helm, Neville went back to Jamaica as he is one of the overseers of the Bob Marley Museum. He has amazing photos from his lifetime achievements and I recommend any book he could possibly release, that gives us a peak into his journey through life. If you ever get the opportunity to meet him, I say “have a fat one rolled in your pocket!”

Class dismissed....
