How I spent my afternoon...

[unclehobart]

I've been burning a few CDs for a friend of mine. It started out as a simple burn and scribble effort.. but as I kept going through them, I started to give them vague outlines of their original covers. I then scrambled about to find markers and pencils and such and started to do fast mock ups of the album covers. As I am using an old burner that takes about 15 an album, I tried to limit my work to 20 minutes per cd. That includes cover art, liner notes, and packaging the disc. After 15 CDs I have the most godawful cramps in my hand.

I haven't tried to be artistic in about 4 years. I've sorta lost my touch. I still ok at it... but only just.

way cool unc, you must have hated doing sergeant peppers

 

[Scanty]

that looks seriously cool, unc. Especially the second one.

Roll out, Roll out for the Mystery Tour.

Shades of days gone past. 20 minute artwork? Nice job.

 

[unclehobart]

I havent done Sgt Peppers yet. I dont know how I can do it properly. It has so many small lines and crowded colors that I cant make stand out with color pencils alone. I might have to do the front row well and just make of bunch of implied grouping behind them.

Kick ass work, Unc. I'm impressed.

 

[unclehobart]

If I was willing to take more than 20min per, I could do a better job... but I was always a 90mph scribbler. Its not in my nature to 'have a care'. It makes copying faces tough.

Damn nice work, man. And that's coming from the biggest Beatles fanatic you know. If we can track down a color (colour for our less New World types), copier, I might wanna make copies.

 

[unclehobart]

Im taking the lot off to Todds come monday. Unless you have a copier come the morning... they will be disappearing.

Im scribbling on diskies again right now. Thats why im not posting. Ive done White Zombie AstroCreep 2000.. I screwed it up a bit... not happy with it. I've also now done Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Weird, I spent my afternoon (yesterday) listening to those exact same albums.

Good stuff.

Master of Reality and Back in Black were simple and quick. The Beatles white album was mana from heaven ... 30 seconds... zip!
