album cover

for the cover band show at gallery 1988, we were given an album cover and asked to collaborate with the art on the cover.fortunately, i was given one of my favorite albums of all time.(the velvet underground with nico) i had a tough time trying to figure out the best way to add my touch to an already great album cover without ruining it.

this is what i came up with.

more.

i just worked on a quick project with the band fall out boy.i did the seal below that they are using to help promote their new album.( when i load it through blogger, it takes away the rest of the seal). I put a link to a video down below showing the complete seal on a print being used by the band.thanks to jensen at 1988 for setting this up(and the band, of course).
