Esta es la imagen de la portada que habra en el debut de Kid Cudi, Man on the Moon: End of Day, la imagen de abajo sera para un DVD … creo que la imagen es muy clara en cuanto a lo que representa o mas bien el como representa el nombre de album.

den größten teil meiner “neuentdeckungen” habe ich durch die kaufentscheidung über das coverartwork gemacht; so ist mir auch die cd von seth kauffman ins auge gesprungen, kurz reingehört und runtergeladen.
klassifizierung ist schwierig, er greift in alle möglichen schubladen um einen ganz eigenen urbanen amerikanischen sound zu kreieren, beispiele auf seinem myspace-account.

ich staune immer wieder wie dirk es schafft ströme in der gestaltung aufzunehmen und sie in seinem ganz eigenen kosmos zu verarbeiten. egal welchen musikbereich er bedient, es kommt immer ein rudolph dabei heraus. pdf runterladen und freuen…

I “stumbledupon” this site today and it just hit me funny so I had to share it with you!  Here are two of the re-imagined book covers in Longmire’s collective satirical look at romance novels. I would consider him a master at re-imagining concepts and readers who enjoy a little wordplay now and then will likely enjoy his other collections as well including: 
Rejected Wheel of Fortune Puzzles - See some word puzzles that never made to TV! You’ll never watch Wheel of Fortune the same way again! 
Longmire does Romance Novels - Romance Novel cover titles rewritten the way they oughtta be. After all, love stinks, right?  
Change One Letter - Changing one letter of the wording on signs, buildings, whatever, to totally ruin them. 
Planet of the Apes…funkified! - I’ve taken the classic sci-fi film and turned it upside down, inside out, slapped it in the face and stuck gum to the bottom of its shoe. Three chapters are ready so far.

“All In A Day’s Work” was entirely produced by Statik Selektah and…..
- The album was created, recorded, and produced in 1 day (24 hours)
- The album will be released on Tuesday March 17th 2009 (the first time an LP has been created in 24 hours and released a week later in digital format and without the traditional 60-90 day setup).
- The album will be released on a digitally only format
- “All In A Days Work” is the precursor Saigon’s “Warning Shots 2” which is a prelude to his long awaited “Greatest Story Never Told” LP.
Both Saigon’s “All In A Day’s Work” and “Warning Shots 2” are signed to Amalgam Digital

Dit fantastische lied uit de tijd dat Noordkaap nog bestond, schalt nog regelmatig uit de boxen van de wagen (die uit dezelfde tijd stamt). Het liedje maakt deel uit van een compilatie met automuziek. Omdat dat liedje het eerste nummer was, kreeg de cassette ook die titel mee. Het heeft menig meerijder de wenkbrauwen doen fronsen. Tot ze hoorden dat het van Noordkaap was.

Vorige week gebeurde dan toch het onvermijdelijke. De band van de cassette raakte verstrikt in de speler. Het toont dat die ouderwetse technologie niet onfeilbaar is. Het eerste idee was om die leuke verzameling als een iPod afspeellijst te bewaren. Ondertussen lijkt een cd toch aanlokkelijker. Zo’n schijfje hoort in een doosje, dat op zijn beurt weer een kaftje kan gebruiken. Het is toch allemaal wat tastbaarder. De coverart is al klaar. Een simpel sprekend beeld maakt meteen duidelijk waarover het gaat. Wat dramatische effecten versterken het beeld. Hier zal ook menig bezoeker de wenkbrauwen over fronsen…

er schijnen huizen te bestaan

met iedere morgen ontbijt met graan

en waar bewoners aangenaam

de liefde bedrijven met warme lijven

er schijnen mensen te bestaan

die iedere dag gelukkig zijn

en vrijwel zorgeloos zonder pijn

doen wat ze moeten, doen wat ze willen

maar wat dan nog?

ja, wat dan nog?

we leven nog

we leven nog

mensen, we zijn rijk

tenminste, we leven nog

hebben zelden pijn

ja, alles kan beter, de crisis te lang

en in onze steden zijn de mensen bang

alles kan beter, het is snel gezegd

maar met onze wetten

maak je wat krom is zelden recht

alles kan mooier, alles kan beter

het is snel gezegd

maar wat dan nog?

ja, wat dan nog?

we leven nog

we leven nog

laat ons bidden!

of beter nog;

laat maar zitten

Wow. I can’t believe it!

I’ve won the October Award for Most Relevant Cover over at The New Covey Awards. It’s really nice to be recognised in this field of work, especially considering I’m still a relative newbie.

Congratulations also go to Lexie Davis , the author of Rain Fell Down

Thank you to everyone who voted for this cover *hugs*. and thanks to TEB for giving me a go Sheesh! Anyone would think I’d won an Oscar, LOL.

Hello and welcome to my attempt at blogging. My name is Lyn and my life has taken a new turn in this past year. I have been extremely lucky to have landed myself a role as a Book Cover Artist over at Total-E-Bound. TEB is an erotic romance e-publisher based in the UK with a very impressive list of incredible Authors and some very hot, hot reads.

Being a Cover Artist is one of those jobs that I’ve always wondered about and wished that perhaps one day I’d achieve. Even as a kid I would wish I could paint/draw as well as the artists on the covers of my favourite books. Usually it was horses, like most young girls . Still it seems to have been one of those jobs that I’ve always coveted, yet could find so little information about.

So I’ve decided to use this blog as a way to promote my own covers, as well as discuss what’s involved in creating them. It’s a bit of a ‘Bridesmaid’ role, considering that it is what’s between the covers that people are after. However, I like to remind myself that mostly it is the cover that draws the reader’s attention in the first place. So instead of being a ‘Bridesmaid’ perhaps we should consider ourselves more like ‘Match Makers’

All the posts you see below are what I have transferred over from Blogger.

Cheers!

So, I’ve given myself a bit of a face lift. Thought it was time that I started to put a more professional persona out there So in this little lapse between covers, I’ve been busy creating banners and avatars.

I’ve also been trying to create a CSS Journal for my DeviantArt page but have given up in disgust. I have a feeling that no matter how hard I try, I’m never going to understand the codes. I might yet have to palm it off to someone who knows a bit more about it. And here I was considering creating my own web page. Yeah. Right!

Here’s a little something that might be of interest. It’s a breakdown of one of Lust In Time. If it’s a bit hard to read, it can be seen here. Just click on it to enlarge.

Le-Fix is making the art work for Blue Foundation’s new album – “Life of a Ghost”. 2007:

Great album by the way.

Breaking the Rules is Summer Jordan’s next release in her Wives-R-Us series.

The concept for the cover was pretty straight forward. The character has dark curly hair and blue eyes so all I had to do here was change her eye colour. The houses were a good find and seemed to fit the storyline well. The card is a carry-on from the previous cover and ties the series together. So there it is – a pretty simple, yet effective cover

Got a few minutes spare? Go check out Dionne Galace’s recent interview with incredibly talented Cover Artists – April Martinez, Anne Cain, Frauke of Croco Designs & Christine Griffin.

Dionne also asked other cover artists to send in a sample of their work which I did. I got a great & might I add VERY quick response. So it seems that I may just be part of Bam’s Friday Showcase! I was asked for a quick rundown on the cover that I sent over. I’m ot very good at that sort of thing, BUT I sent off a little blurb so we’ll see whether I look like a right git once it hit’s the ether LOL.

Got some more covers coming so better get back to them.
