.... which can be discussed if its art or not, but anyway I had to do a cover for my "pre-production" release. (I call it so because I want the people to believe that this is an unique item... )

I shall use this one tonight when having a gig, and hopefully sell some copies to the audience. As usual the wages are lousy, but maybe this will help it a little bit. The songs here, are the one's most of You already heard, posted in the "uploads" -forum. Btw. Im gonna go for a "real" record in the summer with my own band, but I dont expect any sales from it - but in order to get some gigs today, its really necessary with an album imo.

The "artwork" was done in Adobe Photoshop, and took me bout 2 hours (since I used to work with PS long time ago) and was pretty easy to do. Most of the pictures is taken with my digital camera and I then replaced the backgrounds.

Feel free to post any comments!

Nice job man .. how can we get your album ??

Hehe, I used to credit my mother for giving birth as well, but maybe she gonna read this, so I left it out...
I also forgot what I usually write: "This was done without any drugs, since drugs SERIOUSLY damage creativity"
But Im in a real stress, I have to learn 4 new songs as well as burn all the copies and then get ready for the gig....

Oh, I have put up most of the songs as MP3's in uploads already, maybe some is missing though.....
I guess You have to pirate it !!!! (its allowed by me, but only for GMC-users... )

great work.. the pic where you're holding down the sunnies smiling at the camera is awesome .. what were you thinking? ... wait, let me guess .... "Thats right @#$#$%%, i can see you all, i just wear sunglasses to be cool " heh

Aha so I´m off on a search for our lost mp3´s

Posted by: Staffy Mar 5 2010, 12:51 PM

Thinking? Oh, it was years since I did something that advanced.... The sunglasses is a symbol for my splitted personality that according to Freud is my mothers fault, eg. the hat is communistic and the glasses is capitalistic, which is a contradiction and makes me a Bush-Marxist writing songs about my miserable childhood.......

Nah, just check in uploads, if You really want them all, I can send them to You..... just PM me.
