Friday Challenge - The Album Cover

[FlyingMonkey]

This was so much fun I'll throw in another one. Pulp was a big part of my nineties, as I was a teenager heading towards adulthood. Their texts and catchy indie pop tunes really struck a note with me. Also, Jarvis Cocker is a well known patron of the cord suit:

I'd really like to see @Parker do Jarvis Cocker...

ha ^ I could not top dadcore or EFV. Both of those are great. Excellent idea for a thread. @brillopad Portrait in Jazz is in my Top 5 albums of all time. Such beauty and sadness. Evans is phenomenal.

This is the outfit Jimmy wears under his Parka…
I tried to stay very close, but at the same time slightly updated it.
Thanks guys for your kind consideration.

Remember the space out makeup scene, they did alright with the suits in the film too.

"Self-Portrait in Jazz"

Bill Evans is one of my favorite musicians and this is one of my favorite albums, so I knew I would have to give it a shot. I studied jazz piano in college so I have spent a lot of time listening to his music, and in more recent years began to appreciate the way he dressed in "boring" clothing and made it look effortlessly cool without being loud or showy. I do seem to lack the haunting, empty gaze of a tortured artist, but that's probably for the best.

Also, apparently he and I are the same age in these photos...not sure how that makes me feel.

Game, set, match.

You have my vote unless some magnificent bastard shows up with a green OCBD and an old Selmer or Martin Committee. Or a flannel suit and a Gibson ES-330.

Rafael Riqueni, "Parque de María Luisa"

You can find this album on Spotify, the music is pretty amazing.

Sadly, not for me. I own a linen shirt in a very similar shade of green and it looks awful against my pasty white skin.

I don't have Photoshop or the skills to put anything interesting together. Can somebody lend a hand if I can put something together? If so, please send a PM.

I don't have the photoshop skills either but remember that you don't necessarily have to shop yourself into an existing cover. You can do an approximation (like Thrift Vader and I did) or a free interpretation (as EFV has done) as well.

I certainly have no photoshop skills. But ideas are what art is about anyway.

This one is for all the recent fathers out there.

Just find a cover you like, get a friend to help take the pic. then windows photo editor (contrast,etc) and Publisher (text) is all you need. it's really fun. to be silly for a minute.

'Milestones' remains one of the most epic puns in history.

Fantastic- one of my favourite albums.
