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.)

  2. My own bands/projects go by the names Baab Ceegur, Foom, and iLLLich, however the first release (if this even comes together) would be by long defunct Boston post-rock trio Juneau, whose lone studio album never lived up to their live shows. They have dats of some gigs that sound like early Ash Ra Tempel bootlegs. I am also considering releases by my neighbor Atomfoam (of the local whitehausfamilyrecord collective.)
