It’s pretty cool when you get an email telling you that the album you're doing art for is gonna be released by the record label that shaped your young adulthood. That's what happened here. FUN FACT: I took the arms and torso for the central figure at this hopped-up “last supper” from the Platoon movie poster.
Widely available on black vinyl (and CD, not pictured). Limited “Piss” and “Wormhole” colored vinyl pictured here as well as the deluxe edition which is pressed on “Brain Soup” colored vinyl and includes alternate artwork, a pack of incense, rolling papers, and a wooden base that serves as a record display stand AND incense holder. The base includes a strip of LED blacklights that activate the fluorescent inks on the screen-printed sleeve. Dude. Photos by Brian Santostefano.
