Shhh...

This is the album artwork for Dave Menzo's newest album Shhh...
It's an interesting project, it's created entirely with instruments checked out from the Ann Arbor Public Library. They have a substantial electronic instrument section that he frequented to make the album. I started with the illustration of the face, hand drawing, scanning and digitally finishing it. I worked up the "Shhh..." text the same way. A few pages of S's and a few more of h's whittled down to the best ones. The velvet and fur backgrounds were really fun to work with as well. They lend a distinct vibe to the whole thing. 

I've got a few digital projects in the works and I'm enjoying this process being a blend of hand drawing and finishing in PS.
