Imagine by zooreka
Imagine there’s no Heaven / It’s easy if you try / No hell below us / Above us only sky / Imagine all the people / Living for today Imagine there’s no countries / It isn’t hard to do / Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too / Imagine all the people / Living life in peace You may say that I’m a dreamer / But I’m not the only one / I hope someday you’ll join us / And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions / I wonder if you can / No need for greed or hunger / A brotherhood of man / Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world You may say that I’m a dreamer / But I’m not the only one / I hope someday you’ll join us / And the world will live as one (Lennon) Digital Painting (Psychedelic/Impressionist) – Photoshop and Painter

Under the Milky Way - The Church by Kitsmumma
Inverted colour macro photograph of sand covered in hundreds of little holes created by the water as it drained away. Best viewed LARGE Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty, / Sound of their breath fades with the light. / I think about the loveless fascination, / Under the milky way tonight. Lower the curtain down in memphis, / Lower the curtain down all right. / I got no time for private consultation, / Under the milky way tonight. Wish I knew what you were looking for. / Might have known what you would find. / Wish I knew what you were looking for. / Might have known what you would find. And its something quite peculiar, / Something thats shimmering and white. / Leads you here despite your destination, / Under the milky way tonight The Church

Pavement Cracks by Annie Lennox by gail anderson
Number One pick in the Music Inspired Arts Greatest Hits at EMI on November 10, 2009. / Featured in Album Art The Way It Couldv’e been / Featured in MIA / Featured in Dimensions on 8/11/09 / Pavement Cracks by Annie Lennox The city streets are wet again with rain / But I’m walkin’ just the same / Skies turn to the usual grey / When you turn to face the day / And love don’t show up in the pavement cracks / All my water colours fade to black / I’m goin’ nowhere and I’m ten steps back / All my dreams have fallen flat (Love don’t show in the pavement cracks / There will be no turning back) Time and space will pass us by and by / When we don’t see eye to eye / I would have done anything / For happiness to bring … / But it don’t show up in the pavement cracks / I can’t even cover up my tracks / I’m goin’ nowhere and I’m light years back / Ooh I wish you well How come / Every day / I’m still waiting for the change? / How come / I still say / Give me strength to live? Where is my comfort zone? / A simple place to call my own / ‘Cause everything I wanna be / Comes crashing down on me / And it don’t show up in the pavement cracks / I can’t even recognise my tracks / You and I can’t turn the whole thing back / Ooh I wish you well

So close - John Mclaughlin by Ghelly
This work has been featured in the group Album Art Jon McLaughlin – So Close Lyrics ( for the Album art group) You’re in my arms / And all the world is calm / The music playing on for only two / So close together / And when I’m with you / So close to feeling alive A life goes by / Romantic dreams will stop / So I bid mine goodbye and never knew / So close was waiting, waiting here with you / And now forever I know / All that I wanted to hold you / So close So close to reaching that famous happy end / Almost believing this was not pretend / And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come / So far we are so close How could I face the faceless days / If I should lose you now? / We’re so close / To reaching that famous happy end / And almost believing this was not pretend / Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are / So close / So close / And still so far ——- Inner Thoughts

'Fifteen Minutes Of Peace' Album Cover by Scootarts
This artwork was designed for a mate’s band’s upcoming EP album. / The concept is that the cogs in our minds are always spinning, so it would be nice just to get “fifteen minutes of peace” away from ourselves. The cogs were repeated, re-sized & different appearance effects applied in Photoshop to achieve the final result.

songbird ~ fleetwood mac & christine mcvee by gabryshak
02/02/09 FEATURE – Thank you Paul host of Album Art- The Way It Could’ve Been… this is for paul and his new group / when i saw your challenge for us to redo album covers / i thought of this piece…. / i did it for my favorite song / “songbird” by christine mcvee / i play it on the piano / but don’t let all compositions fool you as being the same / you have to hear the one from the “rumours” songbook~ / truly beautiful i took this shot one day walking with my son / it was a little over a year ago now, and it was when i was / using an old video camera that had a max of 640x resolution / so unfortunately, until i learn how to do better scans or ps better / this is the largest i am capable of uploading the image… / ♥t i wish that i could post a link of my piano / of this wonderful composition, but until i learn yet another thing…. / i give you her lyrics: ♥For you, there’ll be no more crying, / For you, the sun will be shining, / And I feel that when I’m with you, / It’s alright, I know it’s right To you, I’ll give the world / to you, I’ll never be cold / ‘Cause I feel that when I’m with you, / It’s alright, I know it’s right. And the songbirds are singing, / Like they know the score, / And I love you, I love you, I love you, / Like never before. And I wish you all the love in the world, / But most of all, I wish it from myself. And the songbirds keep singing, / Like they know the score, / And I love you, I love you, I love you, / Like never before, like never before.♥

Yellow Submarine by zooreka
In the town where I was born, / Lived a man who sailed to sea, / And he told us of his life, / In the land of submarines, So we sailed on to the sun, / Till we found the sea green, / And we lived beneath the waves, / In our yellow submarine —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— Homage to one of my greatest artistic influences – Alan Aldridge who was responsible for quite a large chunk of the Beatles Art Catalog, The Butterfly Ball and a few Elton John covers such as Capt Fantastic and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I borrowed a few characters from the Movie and turned them into Vectors then did my own thing with psychedelic brushes and shapes. The result is about 50/50 regarding the brush to shap ratio here Digital Painting/Vector hybrid – Photoshop and Illustrator Watch out for the meanies!!!

P-Town Skanks Album by Ryan Yu
My friends’ band wanted a zombie hand theme to go on their myspace and album and such, they wanted it to look cheap (those damn rock-a-billy attitudes) so I left it ctrl+C and ctrl+V based with minor effects.

Moon over Bourbon Street - Sting by monocotylidono
I’ve been meaning to attempt this composite for a long time… Inspired by one of my favourite songs by Sting. It still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear the lyrics… Moon over Bourbon Street / There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight / I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight / I’ve no choice but to follow that call / The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all / I pray everyday to be strong / For I know what I do must be wrong / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am / I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb / Now I can never show my face at noon / And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon / The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast / I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans / She’s innocent and young from a family of means / I have stood many times outside her window at night / To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light / How could I be this way when I pray to God above / I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street New Orleans Streetview, 2007 – [Konica-Minolta 5D, 18-70 kit lens@35mm, f:5.6, 1/8sec (handheld), ISO-800] / Night Sky, 2009 – [Sony a350, Sigma 17-80@35mm, f:10, 30sec, ISO-100] .

Stooges~ Raw Power by SGLAZARUS
alternative lp cover
About This Group
Here’s the pitch…
The whole concept is to create a new & unique cover image for an album of your choice.
There is one proviso… none of the original album artwork (or text) is allowed to feature in any way on the newly created album artwork.
So, it’s time to light the fuse under your muse and get creative.
Peace peeps! :D
