The Good Rats: Tasty Seconds

Sketch Idea

Tasty Seconds Original Album Cover

Tasty Album Cover

My idea is to take the Tasty Seconds album cover and try and make it more synched to the Tasty album cover. The Good Rats are a Long Island band that have been around for about 40 years, and while they have stayed "local," they have quite a following and actually tour the northeast all the time. I have vinyl of theirs from my childhood, when my father first took me to see them. Now, the lead singer is the only original member, but the lead guitarist is a close friend of mine. Tasty is their most well-known song, although they have recorded several albums since then. I thought that a rat eating a guitar made out of cheese might make a good cover that went better with the first album cover, which features a rat snacking on a pile of garbage.

Sketches of Maggie

This is my Weimaraner puppy Maggie at three months old. She just turned six months old, and she's getting huge! I love this picture my husband took of her, with the intense contrast in light and shadow. After sketching out the full body and the close-up, I realize the body is awkward. I will most likely be recreating the close-up of her face with Illustrator.
