Monthly Album - MAYDAY

BJ's Words:

This artwork had a lot of time and effort put into it. I pulled out 5 records and lined them up along the windows so that I was able to look up and use them as reference as I tried to replicate the look of compilation albums from the 50's. I love this artwork.

For this album BJ asked me to make two magnets which had the stain glass images from the front covers on them. I packaged them up all cute and they looked awesome in the end.

My Thoughts:

With this album it was hard. There were soo many great cover songs out there and I feel that there are some better ones BJ could have picked over others. I enjoy the covers more then the originals mostly but both albums have a good flow.
