CD cover!

Illustration by Beckett Gladney for our CD cover.
Please do not copy or use this image without permission of the artist, thanks.


Beckett sent us a copy of the cover illustration yesterday; Allison, Jodi and I love it! We asked Beckett to incorporate elements of our CD name, which was chosen to represent the geographical locations where the tracks were recorded: California (California sushi rolls, Ghiradelli chocolate) and the U.K. (High tea, and photos of the three of us on the table were taken at the convention). Other elements: hedgehog (Beckett's trademark :-), Allison's cat Nova, chocolate truffles, plum wine.

I printed out the image and have stuck it on my office message board for inspiration. It makes me hungry. :-) But it also brings back wonderful memories of our trips out to California and overseas as Urban Tapestry, the friends we made, spending time with old friends (but it never seemed long enough), the days and nights of fellowship and music.

If you're interested in seeing more of Beckett's work, do check out her Web site.

My sister Ruth came over last night and used my computer to create several black-and-white cartoons for our liner notes. I have such a cool sister. As Allison pointed out later in e-mail when I showed her and Jodi the illustrations, it seems so appropriate that this CD package will include work from both artists represented in our previous recording projects.

Buffy update: I'm on season 5, but sadly will have to do without my regular Buffy fix until we get a new VCR. Our current/ancient machine is giving up the ghost, and makes every episode look as if it is taking place in a somewhat spastic snowstorm. :-(

Survey: What was the last CD that you bought?

When? Why?
