This is my latest cover design artwork for just released music album 'Seashell Stories' by Julian Ray ;)
So if you like the album design, you probably will also like this instrumental music, which has Nu-Jazz and New Age touch.
You can listen to songs from this album on Julian Ray website
Have a nice weekend!
I just got this new basket, and throw, LOVE THEM!!
This little guy is about to be featured in the album design of a brand new album by a super talented designer/ graphic artist. I'm pretty excited about it. She asked me awhile ago, but I haven't had any boys coming in, all my newborns were girls, but then this cutie was born! yeah, I'll let you all know who the designer is when she releases the album, I don't want to steal her thunder!

I've had this idea sketched out in my sketchbook for about a year, don't really know why I didn't shoot it sooner.
It's inspired by Peter Gabriel's second album (designed by Hipgnosis).

This is a professional Royal Navy photographer's photo and the MoD holds copyright. I acquired a print whilst serving aboard Boxer.
The lead ship of the Royal Navy's Type 22 Batch II specialised anti-submarine frigates, she is seen here alongside in Kiel, in what was then West Germany, during the 1985 Kiel Woche.
At this point, Boxer was in yet another year (her fourth!) as the platform for the agonisingly drawn-out trials for the new Operations Room computer system, CACS 1, (Computer-Assisted Command System 1), which Ferranti were having immense trouble getting to work. It was intended to be capable of tracking up to 500 targets, including those detected by radar, sonar and electronic support measures (ESM).
Upon leaving Kiel we had a change of our published programme and turned right instead of left. This led to a very interesting week in the Baltic, running up the coastline of what was then the Soviet Union, observing various nautical and aerial activities (see my Warsaw Pact album).
Designed for operations in the GIUK Gap or further north during the Cold War, the class proved to be an expensive liability in the 1990s when ships with guns, smaller crews and greater flexibility were required. They were all disposed-of much earlier than had originally been planned.
On the other side of the mole from Boxer can be seen the very distinctive 'mack' of an American Knox-class frigate. Although her hull number is obscured in the image, she was the USS McCandless (FF-1084).

From Wikipedia, Physical Graffiti entry:
The album's sleeve design features a photograph of a New York City tenement block, with interchanging window illustrations. The album designer, Peter Corriston, was looking for a building that was symmetrical with interesting details, that was not obstructed by other objects and would fit the square album cover. He said:
We walked around the city for a few weeks looking for the right building. I had come up a concept for the band based on the tenement, people living there and moving in and out. The original album featured the building with the windows cut out on the cover and various sleeves that could be placed under the cover, filling the windows with the album title, track information or liner notes.
96 and 98 St. Mark's Place
The two five-story buildings photographed for the album cover are located at 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in New York City. But to enable it to fit, the fifth floor had to be cropped out. So for the album cover it became a four-story building instead. The front cover is a daytime image, while the back cover is the same image but at nighttime.
Mike Doud is listed as the Cover Artist on the inner sleeve, and either the concept or design or both were his. He passed away in the early 1990s, and this album design was one of his crowning achievements in a lifetime of design - he was later to win a Grammy for best album cover of the year 1978.
The buildings on the album cover were the same Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were filmed in front of in the Rolling Stones music video "Waiting on a Friend". There is currently a used clothing store in the basement of 96 St. Mark's Place called Physical Graffiti. The building has been profiled on the television show, Rock Junket.
The original album jacket for the LP album included four covers made up of two inners (for each disc), a middle insert cover and an outer cover. The inner covers depict various objects and people (including photos of Robert Plant and Richard Cole in drag) on each window. The middle insert cover is white and details all the album track listings and recording information. The outer cover has die-cut windows on the building, so when the middle cover is wrapped around the inner covers and slid into the outer cover, the title of the album is shown on the front cover, spelling out the name "Physical Graffiti"
In 1976 the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of best album package.
Philadelphia comedy-punk band the Dead Milkmen spoofed the album cover and title on their 1990 album Metaphysical Graffiti.

In Chapter 16 of Fleming's novel Live And Let Die, a small description of a Tampa motel that bond retreats to after a titanic battle with poisonous fish and sharks is commemorated here as a hospitality kit for the agent.
The Minox spy camera by Walter Zapp (an autodidact) slides into a central tube underneath a rooftop hotel pool for this fantasy camera that is similar to a Cold War Russian briefcase spy camera. In designing this kit, I flipped the location of a traditional film winder to the top, converting it to a hotel rooftop pool with a white gate. A silver tray recessed with two glasses, for Old Grandad Bourbon on the rocks according to the novel, is inset as a fictive swimming pool. The glasses also refer to the iconic twins lens reflex camera look as a reminder of the photography motif for this design. A thin side drawer slides out to hold a blue leather notepad and matching blue Parker fountain pen. Three large interval viewers allow the user to reminisce upon a recreation of a blue and white motel room interior at the bottom compartment, where Bond writes his report to M about Mr. Big's operations before heading back to Jamaica.

This is my side of our home office (best viewed - large).... Almost exactly five years ago I took another photo of what my desk looked like and what kinds of technology I was using at home. Well it's been five years and I just retired most of what I was using... now I'm an Apple convert and my home setup is much simpler (it's amazing the cabling that was pulled out, and how quiet things are... will be interesting to see if the power bill drops).
Click Here to see a close up version of what's on my desk.
Basically I have two computers, a desktop, laptop and a third machine functioning as a storage server. They are networked together by an HP ProCurve 8 port gigabit ethernet switch, with a Linksys WRT54GS running Tomato and functioning as a dedicated firewall and router and an Airport Extreme serving up wireless internet access.
This is just a fantastic setup for doing just about any photographic related computer task one could think of... It's wonderful to edit with this hardware and setup. Aside from the Mac Pro which is lighting fast, the real treat is seeing images on the amazingly accurate and sharp 30" NEC display, this monitor is quite a bit above and beyond the Apple Cinema Display (as well as the Dell and HP offerings).
On Switching to Mac: I've been a Microsoft user since MS-DOS 3.3 and have worked professionally as a server engineer and systems designer for Microsoft Servers for approx. 15 years, and Microsoft has come a long way... some of their newest offerings are darn impressive. But the reality is for me, at home... I want something that is simple, powerful and is best geared for photography. Additionally I wanted something that was simpler and doesn't result in me having to rebuild the system once a year or so because of something silly happening.
I've been half switched for a bit more than three months and so far it's been fantastic... there is a bit of a learning curve and somethings are kind of annoying, but overall it's been wonderful and the most enjoyable computing experience of my life. Besides, if I really need to run Windows I have Windows 7 Ultimate running in side a VMWare virtual machine.

Software: I want to point out that 100% of the software that is run on these systems has been paid for and is all legal like. This wasn't always the case but I do like knowing that it's all legit ... I think it's highly hypocritical for photographers or other content creators to complain about someone stealing their images or using images without their permission if they use pirated or not properly licensed software.

This Wallpaper 1920x1200 is a hommage to the American Illustrator James »Jim« Flora (1914–1998).
Typeface in use:
»P22 Flora Mambo« designed by Jim Flora.
P22 Flora Mambo is based on the distinctive style of 20th century illustrator Jim Flora. Most widely known for his Jazz album covers of the 1940s & 50s, Flora’s style shows his fantastic imagination and bold graphic style.
The P22 Flora Mambo Set contains 3 fonts- Flora Mambo, a 2-part font that can be used to achieve 2-color text in the style of Flora’s iconic 1955 album design, Mambo for Cats and Flornaments, a set of 72 ornaments that features a variety of Flora’s illustrative styles from his Jazz album covers to children’s books to his fine art prints.
Please note that P22 Flora Mambo B is not intended to be used on its own but rather is included with P22 Flora Mambo to create 2-color text. For best results, use with page layout applications.

A birthday cake for my, then, boyfriend. He's married me since - i make fun cakes :)
----------------------------------------
Since I posted this cake photo in 2007 it's had over 2000 views. It seems a lot of people want to make Pink Floyd cake. The idea was all my own, and I didn't use any instructions. I made a normal victoria sponge with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam in the centre. The top was vanilla buttercream too. Then I got some baking paper and traced the album design off the vinyl sleeve. I cut out the middle triangle and the left line and sifted cocoa powder over the top of the template. Then I drew the right spectrum using icing pens.

Flying in the midst of summer: book creation, photo album design, online classes, and 40+ hours of work.
Today's challenge was totally out of my comfort zone! This is so far from the idea I started with one might wonder how my mind works! But the journey was sooooooo much fun! Thanks Garth!
So... I went with Choice #3 (see below)
"Faster Than the Speed of Night" is a Platinum-plus album by Bonnie Tyler released in 1983. It includes her classic #1 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart". The album entered the UK album charts at #1. It later reached #4 in the United States. Tyler performed the song live on the 1984 Grammy Awards, nominated alongside Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Irene Cara, and Sheena Easton.
The album had a photo of Bonnie with her name at the top and the name of the album at the bottom. Here's how I would update her album cover today.

Our Daily Challenge: Album Cover
This time around I hope you'll have fun with "Designing Your Own Album Cover!" (That was too long of a title so i shortened it.)
you can go about this challenge in any number of ways, some of which might include:
(1) make a fun album cover design with you as the rock star or musician.
(2) re-create a classic album design with elements you have at hand
(3) re-invent an album cover for a band you love. in this version of the challenge, the band you love put out an album but the original album cover didn't "wow" you so you're making a better one for them now! most of the original album covers for the band Three Dog Night were nothing to speak of after all -- time to re-make them!
(4) you can't stand it, too many choices, so you just take an artfully arranged and lit picture of your CD collection, or an actual vinyl album, or maybe an old 8-track cassette that you've never been able to sell on e-Bay or your annual spring yard sales. there! i hate thursdays.
ha! just kidding ...

Hey guys! Wow, long time since I've put anything on here. Was too excited about TAYLOR SWIFTS NEW ALBUM too not post anything! Really liking the title of this one. I feel like "1989" will have a lot of new stories to tell, both good and energetic, or sad and heart wrenching. I'm really excited to hear the songs that Taylor and Ryan Tedder (of One Republic) penned together!
What do you guys think of the official album cover? I think it's great! Very vintage, hipster, photoshop vibe goin on.
With this one, I wanted to do something simple, yet effective, as well as different from what we can perceive as the "style" of this era (the poloroid, though I do love the album design). I really like this picture of Taylor, and wanted to try it out! Thoughts?
Bob Dylan. I love Bob, me. ‘Blonde on Blonde’ and ‘Highway 61 Revisited’ from his ‘60s output are worthy of repeated visits. OK, that voice puts a lot of people off, but the melodies and words make it worth the effort. ‘Blood on the Tracks’ is the masterpiece, the one I’d take to the island.
They say that when men hit 33, they have their ‘Christ phase’. That’s the age Jesus died. Men question what it’s all about and attempt to do something meaningful, worthwhile, mature. Bob was 33, divorced, the Sixties well and truly over, Vietnam still dragging on, Watergate crushing any remaining illusion that America was land of the free, home of the brave. So, Bob comes up with his greatest set of ‘story’ songs. Songs of love, loss, growing old. Great lyrics and some of his best ever tunes.
‘Tangled Up in Blue’ kicks it off. This song alone makes it all worthwhile. ‘Simple Twist of Fate’ slows it down with gentle strum and light touch. ‘You’re a Big Girl’ with gorgeous picking and yearning vocal. ‘Idiot Wind’ with swirling organ and maliciously funny put-down lyrics. ‘You’re Gonna Make me Lonesome When you Go’, slow bass and jangly guitar with happy-sad tune. ‘Meet me in the Morning’ lurching bluesily with weary picking and high hat. ‘If You See Her, Say Hello’, acoustic guitars and heartbreak. ‘Shelter from the Storm’ should be played at every wedding on the planet, by law. ‘Buckets of Rain’ ends the album with gorgeous guitar and bubbling bass sending us off with a smile on our faces.
An album for grown-ups, of all ages.

The First Album of the new genre of Heavy Metal!
I remember still the day I heard Zeppelin for the first time on the radio.
It was kind of shocking experience.
There was energy, power and strong emotion.
Yardbirds, The Who, Hendix, Cream - were already on the scene,
but still Zeppelin had something new. The music is rhythm
and blues -based rock with new electronics sounds.
Robert Plants vocals were something never heard before
and Jimmy Pages guitar solos were unbelievable.

Danny Hennesy Fine Arts Artist, Born April 9, 1976
Historically the Five Main Fine Arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry with performing arts including theatre and dance. Danny Hennesy has encapsulated most of the above mentioned forms including his penchant for photography. You can hardly navigate through the internet without running into his artwork in some form or another.
Danny was born in Malmo, Sweden. His mother is from Karlskrona and his father is from England. Danny's renaissance took place in the mid-1990s and in his own words, “The second time I was given birth (if only in my mind's eye) was in the mid-nineties at the bohemian quarters in Malmö known as Möllan or Möllevången, a melting pot of immigrants, swedes, artists, queers, anarchists, dykes, punks, old hippies, gay guys and many other subcultures and social classes (and many mixes between the previous categories)...”
The young Hennesy was surprised to find what he in his heart had always been searching for, a place where what you were meant less than who you are... He integrated with this unintegrated mess of people and loved it... Danny Hennesy was born alive and kicking (in a non-violent way), a true Avant-Garde of his era.
Influences:
Danny Hennesy is influenced by a diverse number of things such as, artists, musicians and subcultures which ultimately mixes into something some may call his own style...(which is easy to see). When asked what these influences were, he stated, “a few of my influences, were Monty Python, Hippies, Punks, The Queer Culture, Graffiti Art, Classic Art, Modern Art, Goth, Comics (especially the underground ones), Ethnical Art and well, just about anything…”
Motto: Peace, Love. Noise and Understanding -Danny Hennesy
When not busy on one of his canvasses, Danny can be found in one of his Punk Rock Bands, like TransvestiteStallion, Mollan Punks, or Good for Cows or simply sipping on a OttaKringer Beer in Vienna. He is a machine and is constantly making a Plethora of Art that touches so many lives around the world. His energy is addictive and exhilarating and I am sure we will be seeing a lot more from this young man.
Punk visual art is artwork associated with the punk subculture. It often graces punk rock album covers, flyers for punk concerts, punk zines and punk websites. It is also sometimes showcased in art galleries and exhibition spaces. When you look up Punk Visual Art, Danny Hennesy is literally the Poster Child for this Genre.
The main aesthetic of punk visual art seems to be to either shock, create a sense of empathy or revulsion, make a grand point with an acidic or sarcastic wit. One characteristic associated with punk art is the usage of letters cut out from newspapers and magazines, a device previously associated with kidnap and ransom notes. A prominent example of that style is the cover of the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks album designed by Jamie Reid. Images and figures are also sometimes cut and pasted from magazines and newspapers to create a collage.
Los Angeles artist Mark Vallen has said:
Punk had a unique and complex aesthetic. It was steeped in shock value and revered what was considered ugly. The whole look of punk was designed to disturb and disrupt the happy complacency of the wider society. Outside of punk’s torn and safety pinned anti-fashion statements, this impulse to outrage was never more apparent than on punk album covers.
In New York City in the mid-1970s, there was much overlap between the punk music and art scenes. In 1978, many of the visual artists who were regulars at CBGB and other punk-related music venues participated in a large punk art exhibition in Washington, DC. Among those featured were John Holmstrom and Legs McNeil of the fanzine Punk,; Alan Vega (a.k.a. Alan Suicide), whose electronic junk sculpture predated his role in the band Suicide; photographers Marcia Resnick and Jimmy De Sana; tattoo artist Ruth Marten; filmmaker Amos Poe; and artists Tom Otterness and Beth and Scott B, who were associated with X Magazine.
Also in 1978 in New York City, a related, one-night punk art show featuring films, performances and slide shows included works by Robert Mapplethorpe and Diego Cortez. Other early punk art exhibits included the “Times Square Show” (1980) and “New York New Wave” at PS 1 (1981). Punk art found an ongoing home on the New York’s lower east side with the establishment of ABC No Rio Gallery in 1980. The punk aesthetic was a dominant strand from 1982 to 1986 in the art galleries of the city’s East Village.

This concept cafe is finally here (development), don't be deceived by just the look, I've added some very nice contents inside, i.e. if you care to discover.
I had great fun to design the event poster and postcard, which went well into production. I thought marketing was going to print a glossy postcard but they didn't, I still love how it turned out though. I'm posting several written postcards to friends around the world.
Today I went to the store to give a final touchup on the entrance display. I was so happy to see people stopping by the entrance display right after what I did to it. Just what is this event all about? It is a concept cafe filled with things related with travel and photography. Travel/photography magazines, Moleskine, Lomography, Traveler's Notebook, Lonely Planet, LUXE cityguide, Cavallini notebooks, Authentic Models globes, Chronicle Books' Wanderlust series, antique keys, travel jewelry cases, Eiffel tower keychain, etc etc.
There are great prizes for patrons too! Anybody purchase over HK$300 in Times Square and Festival Walk store will be eligible for a lucky draw. Prizes include: Samsonite Valiance spinner, upright; Virgin Atlantic Airways tickets from Hong Kong to Sydney, Lonely Planet compete set of ENCOUNTER guide, Lonely Planet Travel Photography book, Moleskine bestsellers, Moleskine HK/Beijing travel set, Mendoza Panzer Z luggages, Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS, Canon SELPHY CP740 compact photo printer, Cosmopolitan Paris trolley, Lomo Diana F+ with flash, Lomo Diana White Edelweiss, Lomo Fish Eye No.2, LUXE Asian Grand Tour box set, KOLO albums, Design Go kettle, Dr. Willard's moisturizing lotion.
I've invited several people to be speakers for a culture talk in our store. The topic is about how simple it is to carry a totally different mindset in your travel and act upon some simple techniques to create stunning photography and travel experience. Speakers includes a Lonely Planet travel guide writer, a lomographer, an architect and me. The architect will also share with us some of the great spots in Hong Kong where you can experience our rich cultural heritage. This talk will be held on 5th July 2008 in Times Square city'super.
I've already dreamed up something new for next year's Travel Photo Cafe event! Time flies.
