singles covers
project duration : one semester
This semester I intend to create a series of album cover jackets for single releases that have not been previously released by the recording artist Frank Zappa. The artwork will be done by me with a small influence from Frank's original album cover designer Cal Schenkel. I hope to create somewhere in the realm of one and a half a day until the end of the semester, with the exception of a break from the drawing half way through to take a break and to do a small Macromedia Flash presentation that some how pertains to the Frank / Schenkel "monster" I am creating. The goal here for me here is volume, I have a feeling that even if I create bad art, if I have enough of it people will notice. I am envisioning a wall filled with these 9" x 9" illustrations at the end of the semester with a small computer playing a flash presentation next to it. Along the way of this exploration I will document its process as if it had a life of its own. I want to incorporate this documentation in the final result somehow but at this time it is still unclear to me how. I would also like very much to put all of this art work on a web site with a small explanation and then invite Cal Schankle and the rest of the Zappa family to look at it and possibly give comments, law suits and suggestions. I see this project as having really no limits and could take several different paths just the same as Frank's music and life.
