I did a lot of book covers and magazine work for no money for friends and small projects I was interested in or involved with. Certain people in the music business became aware of me through this work and approached me for paid cover work.

No, I'm sorry I cannot. All of my CD cover jobs just sort of fell into my lap.

I have complete faith that you will make your mark on the art world!
*gromyko:icongromyko: Apr 6, 2008, 1:51:20 AM
things are as a commodity would have to say for itself..."hard" and "pricey"...I was really striving here my friend...here in my country they do not seem to appreciate what i am trying to prove, and worst the at scene is ruled by feebleminded quasi impressionists and abstractionists...
