This is one I did for our Christmas E.P. I don't think the font for the label's logo goes, but I had to use it. The image is great though. It's from CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER held by CHICAGO BEACH HOTEL at CHICAGO ILL; (HOTEL).

being old and not knowing how to paint provides a great feeling of freedom. i am four years old and i don't give a damn!

WOW Scott I would totally buy yr paintings. I love the portraits but esp. the helicopter!

I love the TEXTURES on the portraits, they remind me of a lot of weird Mexican Catholic curios.

Anyone want to do an art trade up in this? I would totally be down.

I just did a triptych of tools for a friend (hammer, screwdriver & wrench, all truncated) with really fatty/glommy brush strokes. It was super fun. I've been working on this fucking space crab/shrimp critter portrait for abt 2 years and I'm almost done but not quite. :(

What kind of paint do you use, Scott? And Jeff, too?

i think everyone should paint! or make art. and music. homemade art and music is joy. (maybe keep the homemade writing to yerself though. hahaha! oh god that's mean. but it's kinda true...er, not talking about anyone here. i already know how talented most ilxors really are. just in general. don't mind me. it's the hefeweizen talking.)

i just use cheap acrylic paint. i'm scared of oil paint.

Caek, your stuff is fantastic!

oil paint is probably a bad idea with kids in the house but if you ever have a studio you should try it

this one actually worked out okay

Jed, nice work on the GFT! I'll have to go in and have a proper look (my Cineworld pass means I haven't set foot inside for over a year -- I guess that's not an uncommon story).

Jed_ I love it! Seriously, that's like one of my favourite periods. Great job!

S1ocki, those are amazing. Okay to use as desktop?

As for the rest of you, for shame! Less hiding lights under bushels plz!

thanks Kv and Madchen!

I wish I hadn't lost the files for the Ween concert posters I did.

I like the zoetropic lightshades

Oh, and if you're really liking those, then here's adance craze I tried to start

saw this this morning and i knew it looked familiar:

Damn, Caek, how'd you get that job designing record sleeves?

I love yr work, but I'm jealous coz I'd like to do what you are doing.

(Actually, that said, I have been asked to do a record sleeve based on my flyer designs.)

Here is another band I saw recently, the Sian Alice Group:

I like thee psychedelic musique.

Annoyingly, that is not my job. My real job is grad school. But I has a record label which I run in my spare time (http://www.dreamboatrecords.co.uk/). It's kind of taken off, so I don't run everything in the way I used to, but I still run it to the extent that I get to stamp my foot and insist that I do the design, i.e. the website and the sleeves, because that's the bit I enjoy the most. That and the babes and the salvia. I don't get paid for anything though.

Good luck with your sleeve Kate. It will look great, especially if you get the colours printed well! Stumptown can help here, if you don't mind the carbon footprint of ordering from Portland. Get them to send you a batch of print samples.

See, the design is the fun bit! All the other stuff is the crap bits, so it's good if you have minions to offload all the other things.

That isn't the sleeve design - I haven't finished that yet. The sleeve is gonna be printing it in sepia on an aged antique looking background. I don't know if it's me going to be looking into how to do that sort of thing or the label (I don't know the label at all, how much control they keep). But I love the way that your sleeves turn out, so I will suggest Stumptown.
