Hi everyone!

Is there a custom cover thread already?
Let's start one, my fellow custom cover designers

It Follows
Original art by Richey Beckett
(Click for better quality)

Normal Version

Limited Bloody Pool Edition

Version 2

Those are really great shaqfu! I like the not so much edge to edge feel ala WW's Rosemary's Baby than say Mondo's Pet Sematary or WW's F13II while the bottom version has a nice throwback feel - Why the ring wear? I think the way you have them set up...very nice presentation by the way...with the vinyl and the shadows leads to not needing it - Would love to see more of what you have done...as well as what others will come up with...excellent post and I hope it continues! - Bloody pool...how awesome!

Thanks

I kinda liked the "used" effect, not that my records do look like this

Here are some other custom covers

Cold In July

Kung Fury (Limited Translucent Baby Blue Edition)

Great work here.

Also liked the ring wear effect - adds 'authenticity'...

In fact much, much prefer these three mocked up It Follows covers to the 'Marmite' one Milan went for. Would buy that 'bloody pool' variant in a shot - but doubtless it would be limited to an impossible-to-buy 100

Who was the original artist for the bottom Ver 2 It Follows?

Hehehe, the bloody pool variant was just for fun.
Since there are a lot of variants in the soundtrack business, I thought I would a variant.

At first I didn't found the artist to the poster. I tought it was an official one, but now now I found her....Akiko Stehrenberger

Not sure I understand the thread. Is it just someone else's artwork made into a square? or am i missing something?

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2015 7:18 pm**

Well kinda, just custom LP artworks.

I'm seeing some effort and talent in those "squares" Phil - Let's say he's the guy doing layout...just like someone would be doing at any of the labels...and honestly I'm liking shaqfu's covers more than some of what were getting from the labels - Keep on keepin' on shaqfu!

Please do disco!

I gotta agree, @HNC - while I'm really stoked that It Follows got a release,the official sleeve isn't great when put up against current output of other labels...different strokes n all that,but it seems quite a few people think the same, and I'm down with playing the 'what if' game. I might contrib a couple at some point

Just having fun

Terminator: Genisys is based on the motion poster

Back to the Future Trilogy is based on the artwork of Phantom City Creative.
What if Mondo would release the complete score like this?

Hahaha, great gif

Cool custom sleeves yeah ! There's a couple of ost I got that have pretty beat covers and I'd been thinking of doing custom cover art for them. I should get to it and post them.

I actually like the It Follows LP sleeve art more than the CD/Digital cover art. Different strokes yeah

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2015 2:27 pm**

@Nathan - It's a crazy world, fo sho. It's great how there is mostly no real consensus on what makes a great genre OST sleeve. Keeps things innerestin'!

Here's a few of my own "variations" for Cold in July - have posted them before, but just wanna throw summat in to contrib somehow, I'll def have a crack at some others soon. Hmm, may tackle IT FOLLOWS actually....

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2015 2:30 pm**

The third one looks really nice.
Maybe a die-cut version would be cool.

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2015 3:23 pm**

Really like that back to the future idea....l

Actually the more I look at it the more upset I am it's not real, very cool layout idea

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2015 12:01 am**

Nice disco!

Lurker...please do!

Agree with Hatter...there in lies the rub...not being real

@NMA - using the plughole for the centre label is clever... and was about to suggest red splatter effect but then, of course - smacks head - the film is in black & white. Doubly clever.

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2015 8:35 pm**

NMA - Nice!

Hey Mondo-DW / One Way Static / WaxWork / Lunaris / and others...got some talent here...how about a contest for an upcoming release for the STBC artists???

Posted: **Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:13 pm**

@shaqfu My favorite is BTTF trilogy so far

Awesome and delicious!

Posted: **Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:14 pm**

@Spun, @HNC Thanks. Glad you liked it

Posted: **Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:57 pm**

I'd buy this in a New York minute...

Hats off sir!
