Well, I'm voting every day, and it appears many others are, too. I would so love to see you get this.

I got my ex voting for you as well.

I may, at some point in the Future, want to meet with you to discuss my consideration of hiring you on as a prospective consultant or outright designer for the cover of my upcoming solo album

Briefly, due to my fulltime career (medical) I can't (or, rather, don't feel comfortable) do anything too long-lastingly outrageous(facial piercings, Mohawks, the tattoo on my forehead I've designed & drawn and fantasize about, etc.), I'll give you an overview of what I need (or at least would like):

Because I am producing, processing, designing and drawing the cover art - but would like some photos shot, possible - printing, promoting and playing all instruments except drums myself, it is to be a low-overhead project with the expectation of probably not even getting back the little a bit of money I'll put out - it's sort of a self-indulgence thing, and therapeutic (I'm not sure what you know, if anything, of my fall New year's Eve during an onstage stunt that nearly cost me my Life, but the head injury forced me to completely - well, it FEELS complete - change my approach to music - I was always predominantly, solo or in bands, an off-the-cuff, improvisational, more balls than brains [taking musical risks], setlist-refusing, a-song-may-be-2-minutes-one-night-and-32-minutes-the-next-show, fly-by-the-seat{s}-of-my/our-pants kinda performer, and . . .

. . . NOW, I have to actually THINK about what I'm playing. It has forced me to reevaluate my musical direction[s].)

I quit my band (at least temporarily), as, since I couldn't just wing it like I used to (we had a great chemistry for reading each other and exploring the Outer Limits through music - and I was the one who initially stood alone in wanting to spread our wings and fly Icarusly toward the Sun, and was met with a veritable tsunami of resistance, but through fervent perseverance (i.e. whining and ignoring what they were doing and forcing them to take chances).

So, I've been trying to develop new skills based on - well, paying attention to what I'm playing - with dubious degrees of success/.

I hate it.

Anyway, I'm working on a solo album I plan on marketing through iTunes, amazon, etc. The marketing will cost way under 100 bucks and I'll burn CDs and print cove art only as needed - apparently the online stores generally offer the front cover art, and people seem to accept that as enough.

Being of an aural World inhabited by pre-CD vinyl-based musical Lifeforms, I have a major soft spot for the old LP cover art, and think if one buys music, particularly if one throws away one's money of shit as, well, shitty, as my music, one should at least get a front and back cover, and perhaps inside stuff, too.

Okay, you are probably wondering where you might come in

I may want a "Conceptual Consultant/Designer.

It may or may not involve hair.

It's just one of my weird idiosyncrasies. It's a solo project. I'm doing all the music and whatnot myself except the drums,

But I want someone ELSE's input on the cover art - I want a bunch of 'feels' throughout the cover, reflecting the various moods in the music.

It will be a while - the project is in its infancy stage - nay, I've barely shot my load into the ovum that will produce the first stages, so -

Let me know if:

1. I've confused the shit out of you, and if so. how bad was the shortcircuit I may have caused in your brain

and

2. Would you be interested in working at something like this?

3. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT UPON CONCLUDING YOUR READING OF THIS?

I voted for you!
