Hi everyone, please don't treat this as spam, been a member since 2004, longer if you count my old account... Blah blah... This is actually an opportunity for forum
members to provide artwork for my debut album 'See Through The Dust' which is due for release soon on net label Breathe Compilations.

I'll post the links to the songs over the weekend but I thought I'd give forum members a chance as I have seen a lot of credible examples of creativity.

If you are interested please register interest here...

As a huge Chems fan, obvious references are clear in the album title, a homage to Tom n Ed.

Cheers all

Yes! I seem to remember him being very handy with the virtual paint brush, hopefully he sees this then...

EXTRA NOTES:

Word from the Label - front cover I am told need to be at "800x800 pixel"

As well as front cover artwork, I would like back artwork and maybe 2 - 3 pages of inlay artwork if possible please.

Cheers

Nice stuff! The first and third tracks remind me a little of Mezzanine. I've got some good ideas going right now.

The Hanna art's something I'm doing on the side, since the regular artwork for it wasn't exactly amazing.

Nice, and I totally agree, more thought could have gone into the Hanna Art...be interesting to see your work on that too pal.

Nice work IGUANAPUNK :smile: , I like the last 2, the rainbow colours and the grey blocks one also, which sort of reminds me of a Ritchie Hawtin cover or Basic Channel, nice. Try and think of a theme, remember I ideally would love to have a couple pages of artwork for including a front and back cover.

I thought I'd just give a run down of everything to do with this project:

Design artwork for new album - Front cover needed and back cover with 2 - 3 pages of additional artwork included as well.

Artist Name: 'Vela' (Needs to be on front cover)

Album Title: 'See Through The Dust' (Needs to be on front cover)

Dimensions need to be "800x800 pixel"

Track listing for the back cover.... Also, click the links to hear each track which will be on the 6 track album.

1. See Through The Dust - http://db.tt/0f3F5MC
2. Nowhere - http://db.tt/3EuF4vI
3. Japanese Blues - http://db.tt/ySxQ3dc
4. Slo Grime - http://db.tt/RxOn8uD
5. Stories - http://db.tt/e6kpNEw
6. City Streets - http://db.tt/hSiSxcW


That should be everything you need, please ensure all the criteria is met , thanks. Any questions please ask.

Slightly OT: I'm listening to these songs, and I quite liked "Nowhere so Far". Now "Japanese Blues" is playing - cool stuff :smile:
