Stevie Nicks' cd artwork and merchandise (and Fleetwood Mac's for that matter) could be so much better than it is. Giving family members jobs in the company is an admirable gesture, but it isnt' always the best move.

Have you sat down with Chris and had him show you all of his designs? I have, and I thought they were pretty freakin' awesome... but maybe that's just my opinion. Some of the designs you are referring to might not even be his... and sadly, most of them may never see the light of day due to politics that are involved with everything in the biz. I think he had maybe one or two designs that were released late on this FM tour... not enough for people to notice. I don't think Stevie would allow Chris to be selling t-shirts or designing merchandise to begin with if she didn't like the designs herself, regardless of the fact that he is her brother.
