Even when every little thing is carefully placed & researched, I just had to embrace it being a bit of a visual clusterfuck. Still, I wondered: would all of the inevitable months of effort be misplaced? Because really, no matter how big of an image it was, most people will consume the album art as a tiny thumbnail on a phone. It was a crazy request, but I knew I was in. I know it's the middle of the night, but this is a moment we'll remember. However much time it takes, whatever it takes, I'll give you what you need to make it happen. My friends, my wife, my family, my inspirations, my dogs, your dog, your girl, you, all races, colors, creeds, genders, sexual orientations. “Maybe not that many but this is IT dude. “130” he says with this giddy energy to his voice.
