Stenciled LP covers

I have been considering making limited edition LPs (of my own music and local bands I appreciate), with the idea that each release would be limited to 500 copies, and each cover would be a different hand stenciled cover-- these are test covers, trying out some possible designs. Spray painting 500 LP covers would be a long tedious task, and some of these designs aren't practical (the eyeball is too detailed and flimsy to withstand 500 coats of spray paint, and the rooster would take too long simply because you have to align the second stencil layer each time.)

Four more deliberately damaged photographs, soaked in water until they began to disintegrate. I didn't think these were very good at first, but have since changed my mind. They definitely benefit from being paired up together.

Chrome Stencil

It's not my favorite Chrome LP, but I love the art for "Third From the Sun" so I made a stencil, which came out more-or-less OK. This is on my trash can at work.

Found note

I can't recall where I found this, I believe it was blowing along the street one day in Jamaica Plain. Kind of depressing. I agree with her though-- I also wish things could be "different. Honest. Passionate. Beautiful. Real."
