Aaron BelyeaAaron Belyea may have named his graphic-design studio for a tattoo that encircles his arm, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a true professional — it just means he’s also at least a little bit of a bad-ass. The self-taught senior designer and owner of Alphabet Arm Studio, as well as a former local rocker, counts the Dresden Dolls, Mr. Lif,
Matisyahu, Counting Crows, the Nemo Music Festival, and WFNX among his clients. When he’s not creating logos, CD art, posters, and more for the music scene’s next big things, Belyea is hanging in his native Roxbury, jamming and writing with friends — no hordes of screaming fans needed.
