Hey guys! We are now doing the hard part of thinking on the artwork of Cirse's new album and it's being very difficult... we have been working with different designer and drawers and we didn't get a cool cover yet.

I think that the cover of an album is VERY important so I hope to get something cool soon! The album will be released on August 23th.

How was your experience with this? Do you have some people to recommend?

Alexander Von Weiding is one of my favorite artists. He has done a ton of albums. Here is his website. http://www.zeichentier.com
Good luck with your search.

I can help out for free for you guys if you want something...I'm not a graphic designer just illustrate silly stuff if that style is what you want..but if you want more serious or another style like photos etc maybe you'll have to choose someone better at that stuff

Some of my work here: http://thepenmover.blogspot.com.es/

or here http://rodmacgregor.carbonmade.com/projects/2996507#30

Don't worry if you need something different..I won't be offended as I know my style is just one style...

If I did something...just send me an album for my portfolio..no charge to you guys...If I don't..just send me an album for being nice

Good luck with your album...Maybe me an Vonhotch could knock you something up together?
I can't speak for him however!!

Thanks Dude! Your artwork is awesome BTW and totally Pro! I was assuming that the artwork was yours on that link being a Von?

Posted by: vonhotch Jun 5 2013, 09:22 PM

No, sorry. That's not me. I had some of my art in this thread if you want to check it out.

Still awesome Vonhotch...I really like what you did with the Godzilla album and your Airbrushing work!

dude, that stuff is excellent. It made me think of a pink floyd meets garry larson kind of vibe! really cool.

'... he chose a direct match for his tie'.... that one in particular made me LOL! I really like that kind of humour

Wou! He is very good!! I have never seen this quality of work done here.




You are great mate! Thanks for your offer! I will share your links to my bandmates!

Cheers Bleez! Larson/Pink floyd ..A compliment indeed!



You're welcome Dude! Like I said don't worry if you're not interested...I'm a Big boy and that sort of thing is how the Art/Music industry operates...You win some and lose some..Its a matter of taste..I just like to put myself out there!!!

Hey Gabe, totally! Remember that dude that I was telling you about - he did the artwork and the video for Days of Confusion's EP and single last year. Maybe you guys would like to try him out: http://twilight13media.com/

His name is Costin Chioreanu and you can tell him I gave you the contact

Thank you!



This is a bit off topic but he also has a one man music project called "Larman Clamor". This is one of my favorite songs he did, back when it was a 2 man band.

Do you have any common themes or ideas running through the album? Can you tell us some of the song names or album name? Maybe will give us some imagery to help think of other artists to recommend.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 6 2013, 03:24 PM

Yeah! He is very good! I will share his works with my friends.





Well, the name is secret, but I can make an exception is you say this at my facebook. The name is the Spanish equivalent to "breaking wave".

Here is another artist I like. www.davidlozeau.com . I probably took the meaning to literally but some of his oceanic paintings were the first thing that came to mind.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 7 2013, 12:17 PM

Great, I think you'll find his creations a bit darker than most of the stuff, because he is mainly working with metal bands - black/ death/ grind, that area. But he is very creative and he can come up with great stuff!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 8 2013, 05:34 PM

Nice! I really like his style! Now I want a tattoo... Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: vonhotch Jun 8 2013, 09:40 PM

I'm really curious to see what you end up going with and who you choose for the art. Please let us know.

We are on it! We received many versions from different designer and drawers but finally it seems that our drummer's job is what we like more... I'll keep you updated and off course show you the final work.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 10 2013, 08:33 AM

Is your drummer a graphic designer?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 15 2013, 07:05 PM

yes! he is, he designer the artwork for the simple "Apuesta". He worked as a graphic designer but this is the second year that he decided to dedicate fully to music. He left his old job an started working giving private drum lessons and clinics, and now he has been Cirse's drummer for 7 months.

This evolving very good! Finally another designer provided an artwork that blow our mind!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 16 2013, 08:46 PM

Uh oh - sketches, for us, maybe?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 16 2013, 11:17 PM

What??

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 17 2013, 06:44 AM

Well, in your previous post you wrote that you guys have found a killer designer - I was thinkin that you could show us some sketches of the artwork when you will have some I posted the initial sketch of the Days of Confusion CD cover last year, if you remember

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 17 2013, 03:16 PM

ahh now I got it!! mmm this should be a surprise for Cirse's fans and I suspect that they could discover it here...

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 18 2013, 08:11 AM

No probemmo Gabe I guess I'll have patience then
