Right. We don't want to disappoint close relations. The dog stays.

You could try making the font similar to the shade of your shirt (or just not so starkly black) and you could make the cloud similar to the shade of your hat to tie the different parts of the image neatly together.  ??

 

Stay tuned, Jen 🙂 My graphic designer is working on combining the two concepts.

The latest iteration from my top dollar graphic design team.

I put the cover question to a poll on my Facebook page. The result was 58% to 42% in favor of the one without the dogs. However, the Electoral College has thumbed its nose at democracy and decided to go with neither of them and use this instead.

Come on man! Wrap a flag around your ass and put your hands on the wall!

Darn, too late! Already submitted.

Love it! You've managed to capture the dissatisfied, stone-kicking people of the world perfectly.

Thanks Jen. I hope it's clear that I'm kicking the word "Up," not some invisible stone 🙂

Sorry. No, I didn't think that. I thought, "Ahhh Maaaaannnnn, I give up!!!"

Did you mean "you give up" as in upwards? Because if you did, then (a) that's weird and (b) no I didn't get it.  ?

@jenny-stokes

Nothing as complicated as that. Just that the word Up is squint and positioned as if I had just kicked it.

As I said, love it.

When does it come out, Gavin?

September. Tentatively September 3rd, but my distributor Amuse can be a bit erratic.

Keep us posted.

@jenny-stokes

The album will finally appear on September 19th. Here's the Spotify pre-save link. It takes you to a page where you can have it automatically added to your Spotify library on the 19th, where you can play it and catapult the band to mega-stardom.

Awesome news Gavin. I've posted the link on my Facebook account so my 1000s of raving fans...er...well...17 followers (of which you are one) can read about it.  🙂
