All I want for Christmas is a print of a Penguin Cafe Orchestra album cover.

Oops. back to posting stuff up in the middle of the night.

This was tougher than it looks. But it didn’t take long.

Alright. Finished this last night.

Again I took a whole lot of elements from the original (a big part of the composition, the grey, the blue splat, the white, pretty much all of the text). I feel like I’m cheating with that vertical text again, but it makes it different and it works.

The whole thing is a bit amateurishly literal, i guess, but I was just drawing something when I realized it would fit.

Tried to keep a bit of the color scheme of the original cover and pretty much wholesale swiped the flying birds and sideways text, ‘cause they work. Why did I even do this one?

I’ve been looking through some of my music lately and thought it would be a fun exercise to draw some new covers for Albums i like but covers I don’t.

Am I making sense?

EDIT TO ADD: These are all gonna be on 6” by 6” little bristol papers for added fun.

I wasn’t ACTUALLY hired to draw an album cover but I hope people ask me to do it in the future. I love album covers.
