THE.SPINES - MERMAID PARASITES ARTWORK.

Boys-n-Girls!

It's been a long time since I posted some shit of this here, but now,
the record of my band THE.SPINES is already finished. Well, it's
finished since March, we had an incredible release weekender,
played a couple more shows and sold some of our records.
So, I think it's time to show you how I wasted the last two years.
The record's a beautiful inside-out-print, with my beloved mermaid
that's getting fucked by a leaking oil-platform, encases in a 180 gramm
vinyl with violet one-color-offset-labels. On the inside you find a
lyric sheet, handcopied in a pretty stupid Staples center. Well, the
goddamn copier had a failure quote about 20%, so we hung around
for many, many hours in that uninspiring shop drinking beer and
were a pain in the neck for the unqualified temporary employments,
haha. And further, there's the "big bang" of our record, a poster with
the full artwork I already posted here before with a size of 48" x 12",
each poster was cut by the band (which had a financial cause...).
Printing the final format would have cost about 1000,- €, so we
placed two posters on one DIN A0 sheet and sent it to an online print
shop. Our benefit was saving nearly 75% of the money plus cutting
and folding (!) the shit 2 days long.
The bonus is a download card with access to the mp3s. The codes
on it were programmed by our crazy bass player who's actually doing
a master in IT.
And there is even more! Some of my posted images were used for
the merch, shirts, hoodies, stickers, buttons and the incredible release
poster! check it out it's rad stuff!

goodbye for now and cheers, robert
