Description
It's all about Music!! Music is sonic art, and a lot of my inspiration comes from music. I also love album cover art.
Those 12inch masterpieces (now reduced to 3 inches of the CD! Not quite the same impact) Some times I used to buy the album just for the cover art!!
In the early days of the 4ad record label a pair of designer/ artists set up 23envalope. they did the artwork for bands such as the Cocteau Twins , Dead can Dance, This Mortal Coil and many others.
So this image is partly inspired by them, but mostly inspired by the music of the Cocteau Twins.
I therefore dedicate this album cover art to Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, the voice of a million angels.

Wow awesome. :)
fully agree mate!..VINYL rules...even with the almost perfection of cd sound quality...sometimes u just wanna hear the authentic "cracking" sound of vinyls:)
Cheers Steve, great job on the CD art, dramatic, colorful, moody, creative, and with an edge of mystery that adds even more visual interest.
What a wonderful full sized vinyl cover this would be for them! Love their sound, their instrumentation, and her voice, oh her voice!
This is really cool! Would love to see more! Lea
Beautiful artwork, Steve. A wonderful work! Hugs. Diane. xx
A great picture , Steve !
I've heard of the Cocteau Twins as I'm an 80's music nostalgia freak. I remember 4AD as they were the record label for one of my favourite bands of the 80's ... Bauhaus. This would have made a great 12" cover ... aaah 12"'s, such fabulous vinyl masterpieces with some great bonus tracks on them. As a matter of interest there was a 12" released by A Flock Of Seagulls that had a bonus track on it ... and the track was called 'Tanglimara' ... that's it, my secret is out. Tony.
Wow! Awesome design!
Very cool artwork and dedi. This would make a fabulous 12 inch cover. Nice work indeed!!
awesome work warm hug, Linda
A very inspiring piece Steve, just like their music. You done an excellent job here. Well done!
Ohhh yes, me too ! and this is soooo cool !
looking at the back of the skull and seeing the green eyes and red nostures is wonderful
This is stunning and very impressive!!! I love the way the lighting flows over the forms and the richness of the colors.
I know what you mean about early covers, I did the same (collect them for the artwor). Getting the art down to CD size is very tricky. You have done this so well.Perfect job! Dave
wonderful cover art and excellent dedication.....very well done!
