Another album cover I made surfaces from the deep...

About 3 years have passed since I met up with local hip-hop artist Legion X to create album cover art for his music projects & then being totally blown away after he made a music video that featured one of the illustrations I made for him (see April 2017).  It was truly a blast & an honor working with him as he became one of the easiest & downright coolest clients I ever worked with.  It was a fun local opportunity I couldn't turn down on or else I would be a fool if I did.  Well last month, the cover art I created for him has surfaced on some music streaming platforms.  This one was for a special short collaboration project X made with another talented hip-hop artist from Spain who goes by Chester.  The title for their EP is called Cthulhu Raps which was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's classic story.  X was fortunate to have me as his artist at that time after reading some Lovecraft & thinking of my style of art.  So hell yeah!! I was 100% with it.  I fully illustrated the cover with pencil, pen & ink on an 11" x 14" 2-ply paper, knowing that I will make a couple of mistakes. When I submitted the art to him, he was very impressed.  The only alteration that had to be made was the pendant. When I saw it displayed in all current platforms, I thought the finalization looked a little better than the original drawing because of the alteration.  Nevertheless, this was a hellava fun project we got to team up for.  Now the music behind the album art was interesting too as X & Chester are both wild lyricists and the theme sound they are on is very experimental.  It has an electro-rock atmosphere all throughout. Even the remixes extended from the EP were pretty amazing, as they were remixed by Peter Lansford.  Another aspect that will stand out is that Chester's lyrics are all in Spanish but he went in & killed his verses on every track on this EP.  Shouts out to Chester for being the other half of this project as he is one of the most talented Spanish hip-hop artists I know & I hope to hear more music from him in the future.  Cthulhu Raps is now available on music streaming platforms like Apple music, Spotify, Amazon, Youtube
