Welcome!

Welcome to Art For Album Covers!  An art-sharing blog dedicated to the visual and auditory works.

The purpose of this blog is to show how music can directly effect artistic intuition.  Each piece of art is made while listening to the duration of an album by any music artist.  The works of art can then be considered separate album covers.   Any artists interested in submitting can submit their works at ross24fps@gmail.com.

When sending the picture file, be sure to also give your name (or artistic pseudonym if that's how you roll), materials used, height and width of the piece, and the name of the musician/band and the album you listened to as you made your piece.

I will choose a top piece of the site every month, and will post weekly 10-track playlists to grace your ears.

No infringement of copyright of the music artists mentioned in this blog is intended.
