Michael Wrycraft is a Toronto based designer who's well known for his colorful portfolio of hundreds of distinctive and beautiful CD covers. The local duplicating house, Accudub, should also be referred to as the Michael Wrycraft Gallery since its walls are covered in the best examples of CD artwork that they have brokered - and the vast majority of the best stuff is Michael's.
