This one started off with a couple of punk-ass escapades I made up before being quite done writing things for Zero Hour.

It turns out that so far, the fully improvised one - Song 2 - is the more full and fleshed out. But then, I also haven't worked on Still Alive much yet.

The artwork is from a t-shirt I made. I brushed on the words a bit low on the chest, so I added the stylized icon or rune above it. Then I took a photograph or two of that. What you see is the result of several stages of post-processing of that image.

It was tricky picking a font for the band name to go with the clearly improvised style of the albums title, which was itself improvised in the medium of "bleach on cotton jersey knit". I have not rearranged the pieces into a square album cover shape yet.

This is the "raw cover art":

Notice that I never fixed "what happened" to the "D" where it crashed into the pocket. I suspect a professional would have.
