So awesome! I remember when that beastie boy album dropped…those were the days
Heh, it’s a cool ass style – reminds me of the video game stuff like this done by Olly Moss.
Jeff, looks like we have similar taste, or the same browsing sources. Hehe! These things are awesome. I really love the older Harry Potter remixes as well!
hey your site is cool, ive never seen it before – ill keep my eye on it
These are awesome….
awsome
this is great stuff – all the world weary worn covers look amazing. some of these recent albums art work extremely well to this book style -the warp stuff/ belbury poly (have a look)/ and stereolab have gone all out to do this maths text book or benelux graphic design style. i hate to call it retro-future but its vintage now and modern then ! (same meaning) but easily my favorite is a RE- working of the licensed to ill. it stands ot as the leading idea and is very well executed xx love it
Really sweet collection you have there!
I would love to see the back of the licence to ill. do you think they even bothered to do one?
genius work!
re: licensed to ill,
i don’t think it works very well. rendering the art in such a generic style adds nothing of value to the original, removing the logo & serial # from the tail kills the visual gag and i’m not quite sure what distressing it has to do with anything. two more points – by making it a square the paperback book connection is weakened and not showing the back removes the punchline.
it can be expressed by the equation (se1+ se2) – C = –t
(mixing two stolen elements without the addition of a concept equals a waste of time)
a no to the back cover then?
- i do agree a little bit, the point was that on first seeing the album it had a wonderfully detailed, really sleek cover but not until most people got it home did they bother to notice the smouldering wreck on the back.
i wouldnt call it a wate of time though, it completes a really awesome set, purposley made in a certain, unique style.
Excellent work…love the concept and execution!
NOW, If the album was available for re:issue OMG!!! I AM BUYING….
Really kick ass work. How did you get the work to look so old and used?
These are so cool! It was fun to reminisce seeing some of these because I hadn’t seen them in years.. my mom would love to see what they have done with them! Beautiful and awesome too.
