I'm super excited about this album, goosebumps excited! It's so great it makes me want to vomit, does that make sense? Anywhooo we reached out to a couple of our friends whose artwork we enjoy and support to collab with us on artwork for the new album. So what we did is we ordered a ton of Eco friendly recycled CD sleeves and gave them to our local artists to ingeniously create the album cover. We stamped SNAFU on all the covers and told them they have free range in their creativity.
I fully challenged myself because I know nothing about drawing. Every time I would paint or draw I'd get so discouraged that I would walk away from it. I told myself I would do 5 album covers and they are going to be awesome! Self motivation was flowing and I forced myself to draw what ever. So I just want to share with you my 5 album covers I have done yay! Its front and back and I hope you like and buy ;> These are the font and back sides. I think I did a pretty awesome job and since I started I cant put the pen, colored pencil, crayon, paintbrush down.
This is proof that you can do anything you put your mind to and just let it flow naturally. It's not perfect but its my work that I am proud of. Now I have people asking me to make them logos for their business's. Their stunned to hear that I just started drawing last week and it makes me feel a way that keeps me motivated to continue on another artistic journey. Not only am I a writer, poet, singer, hula hooper, motivator, now I am a true artist too. It still sounds funny when I say it but I conquered my doubt in myself and prospered in it. If I was ambidextrous I would write, sing, and draw at the same time. In no time I will be creating masterpieces!!! FUNK YEAH!!!
I'm excited to see the other artists work and I'll try to get pics of some before they are all gone. Thank you to all the local artists who are supporting us in participation with the album covers. You guys are amazing and I look forward to seeing everyone at the CD release party.
Here's my work!
