Ten Ideas for My Unreleased Album’s Cover Art

01. My head photoshopped on Fidel Castro’s head in the famous photo of his meeting with Malcolm X at the Theresa Hotel in Harlem.

02. A photograph of me in the kitchen smiling and holding a skillet. On the counter next to me is a plate of eggs and sausage and a cup of orange juice. The album was called HELLO. DO YOU WANT  TO EAT THESE EGGS?

03. A photo of me on the toilet reading a magazine with a picture of me on the toilet on the cover. The magazine would be called LIFE.

04. Humpty Dumpty-like egg man wearing a suit and locking arms with a red lipsticked egg-woman wearing a red-checkered dress. The album was called Already Platinum.

05. Pictures of the medieval torture device known as “the pear” and the well-known fruit. The album was called Pairs.

06. A crude drawing of a man bashing another man’s head in with a baseball bat with brains flying everywhere. The album was called Cheat Sheet.

07. Modifying an existing photo of my dad looking through a telescope at the Seattle skyline as my mom walks away wearing a sari (and looking very tired). Replace Seattle skyline with a photo of Earth from space, in flames.

08. A very fanciful throne lodged in a basketball hoop and metal net. The album was called Game of Thrones.

09. Photoshopping my head onto my parent’s heads in a photo of them holding me when I was two. Possibly photoshopping my adult head onto my baby head as well.

10. A photo of me having a candy bottle smashed over my head. No words. These ideas were never used since I never wrote or recorded any songs or music.
