Renegades Of Funk Canvas
I've just recently produced this canvas for an Electro Empire member. The sleeve was scanned, retouched and printed onto canvas. It was then stretched on to a 1.75" hard woood frame.
Yo, is it just me or do creases and wear not sometimes add to an album cover?
When I buy second hand vinyl from the early 80s, I don't expect it to be pristine and never taken out of the plastic wrapping. I mean, ideally its not all torn and shit, but a few crease marks, and the old wear marks where you can see the shape of the record underneath the cover just adds to the character of a sleeve of that age if you ask me!

Out of intrest, how do you retouch the sleves? I have a couple lying around that I would like to play with on my computer.

I use it to enhance colour and repair the image including creases and wear. A certain amount of experience is required though...
That album art is fantastic. That had to have been done by a real comic book artist!

I think it does, you're right in the context of a physical sleeve. But in this instance it is presented as a piece of art on canvas.
I don't mind either...
