    the only bands that hit me up for album art are bands with basically no budget.

    If you believe their lies, this is every band on the planet.

    I just turn 'em down. If they come back with a bigger budget, great. If not, oh well. I’m happy just doing tees.

    The presentation is nice, too. Is that how you show them in your portfolio? Swanky.

    Jumpy, worked on the album or the cover?

    Yes Sir!

    jep. that one mostly is, most of the bands i work for don’t have the budget to let me do some decent photograhy with a decent photographer, so I’ll have to go as low budget as possible and photoshop my way through.

    EXACTLY!

    i remember what happened was i bought some merch off of smartpunk.com, and they sent me this free ep of victory records, which had one of those little flyer advertisements on the inside of all the recent albums they’d put out - and i saw the neon green and pink and was like wow, that looks sick. so i checked out action action and they became my favorite band for the next two years.

    yay :)
