Hey,
This past weekend was a CD launch for Chris Coole's CD 'Old Dog'. He asked me to do the artwork for the CD booklet and had a really different approach. He wanted an image that would stand in place of liner notes to communicate something more about the songs, pictures being worth a 1000 words and all that. So we listened to the tunes, talked a bit about them and came up with what I think turned out to be a great project. At the launch of the CD I hung prints and did a limited run of this image here which is a variation on one of the images in the actual CD. It seemed to me a great way to bring together music and image in a way that enriched both and a creative approach to producing a CD, which in the end is always about images and music and their interaction.
The print is 12 X 16 and the original was done with brush and ink.
Check out his site at www.chriscoole.com it is a great CD and all his stuff is top notch.
