And I need artwork before I can place my order with the vinyl plant. Or before I can use an aggregator to load it to itunes etc.

Any artists out there with portfolios i can check out who would be interested in selling their services?

-P

I figured I'd start here.

He sent you photos of it almost done... wtf?

And all I have are photos.

I sent you a PM.

I'm probably not what you're looking for, and you're probably wondering how anything in the link I sent pertains to album art design.

Just wanted to offer to help if you can't find anyone.

Appreciate the quick responses. Gonna try and sift through this situation while also delivering instruction to a bunch of kids who got a delayed start who really would rather have a "snow day".

on the house, buddy!

-golf clap-

thanks for all the PM responses so far.

Toots, album title is "Sing Along Until You Feel Better" but so far, thats the best response i've gotten. It's also the only response i've gotten with art.

Best I can think of in a hurry. I took this in Harvard Square one day last year in the spring.



Bout to go home. It's my birthday, wife said "come home early," suspect it won't involve smashing our privates together but it might involve good beer.

I like how the flower is so crisp and detailed. I like the photograph alot.

I also hope you're wrong about your wife. Happy birthday.

Thanks man. Get this shit worked out somehow.

cool pic

needs a better font

Yeah, that could make a good cover with better type treatment/layout.

Are you cropping much off of the top/bottom?

I have some contacts. Will PM.

Whatever you do, TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS. Make sure you're completely 100% happy with the aesthetic choice and that it fits your album. Live with the choice for a couple weeks before you pull the trigger, especially on vinyl (it will be huge).

I was just there with "being done" with my record and wanting it out, but I had a couple of things happen that held up my artwork process and in hindsight I was thankful. It allowed for some changes to naturally happen that made it better. I'm glad it ended up taking a couple more weeks.

Cover art can also be really crucial to getting people to review your record - or even give it more than a second glance.

Talk about burying the lede!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLE!!!

Cats to thread, asap.

What, Powerpoint fonts ain't good enough for you?

No seriously I realized that, just had to crank something out quickly to try and be helpful. I just went flying through my "2013 Misc" folder and grabbed something. The pic is cropped that way from back when I took it. Didn't save an original, though there are 2 of them taken right after each other... just checked, both are cropped very wide like that. -shrug-

I get that it was quickly thrown together. I was just commenting that it COULD make a nice cover with a little more finesse to the type and stuff and how it's cropped and positioned. Which is another way of saying that it's a nice photograph.

Like, I dunno, this is just some quick bullshit but:

Oh wow. I like that!

Also, proving once again how unfucking artistic I am. Good work Drink.

Shit I kind of like that too

Well if all else fails, that could be made into a real cover if Cap'n has a nice high-res version of the photo somewhere.

Original file is 2.73 megs, 4288 x 2133.

Just for shits, other photos. ...To see if anything else jogs Phil's fancy. Some film, some digital. If it's shown b&w then that's the only way I have it. Obvs easy to convert / fuck with any of the color ones.

Also the orig of that flower one Drinky did such a good job on is actually color:
