Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx my cover artworks for john ( & louis ) ...

some of u may already know that i also create some imaginary or alternative cover artworks ... so here are a few new ones , which i jus' did over xmas ! ;-)

simply enjoy them , if u like , fellows ! :-)











p. s. : the "x-ray vision" one shows an x-ray scan of our planet , which was jus' altered in some way by me ! ;-)

These are wonderful covers!

Great work Olaf, the second city of lights and neuro video are my pick of the selection!!

Just had a look at the artwork - fabulous colours, made me wish I could tackle something similar!

thanx a lot for your really positive feedback so far , fellow foxx fans ! :-)

these 5 artworks above are jus' the latest in a long row ... & i'll post some more after my winter holidays around mid-january 2007 ! :-)

in the meantime , u can still enjoy ( almost ) all the work that i've done in the past 4 months for john & louis here @ http://www.jointventureradio.info/de/downloads/Doc%20Jones/Alien%20Disco/.JFLG/

btw : here's some of my work for john as a solo artist , which some ( or maybe even the most ? ) of u may have seen already elsewhere , so jus' a few examples ( again ) now ... ;-)

hey there ! :-)

i'm back from my holidays today & here are already some of my most recent imaginary cover artworks for john ... ;-)

simply enjoy them , if u happen to like them , fellows ! :-)

Wow! They are all superb Olaf. Excellent!

thank u for your positive feedback , mr. ilektrik ! :-)

there will be more coming up already soon ! ;-)

well ... it wasn't that "soon" , but a week later , i finally got around to post some more of my stuff here now ! ;-)

simply enjoy them too , if u like , fellow "foxxians" ! :-)

Grey Suit Music (he! he! he!)....it's funny 'cos it's so obvious. I'm sure it must bring a smile on John's face!

IMHO the artwork is generally very good. Some hot ones here!

Thanks Olaf!

Chris C

thank U , cc ! ;-)

i also think that john will smirk , if he would see especially that "grey suit music" image ! *hehehe*

btw : i still have another one in mind , but as i don't have a grey suit myself , i sadly couldn't make it come true right now ! :-o

some more of my stuff will follow next week(end) ... maybe ... perhaps ... ;-)

Hi Olaf

That is stunning artwork!

I know who I need to approach when I get enough of my own music together to need a sleeve designer!

Best wishes

Sarah

hey sarah ! :-)

thank u very much indeed for your nice comment ! :-)

it would be a pleasure & a honor too , if i could provide u with some cover artwork then ! ;-)

cheers ! :-)

Here's some of my own artwork.

Back cover, "Evolution":

I like this one.

Image from my work in progress page:

Can you tell what it is yet?

Front Cover, MachineMusic:

It's NOT a straightforward bridge shot..

it looks like a mixing desk or audio mixer of some kind ! ;-)

btw : not bad , paul ! :-)

---

mainly because of another thread here about the subject of ( favorite ) cover artworks , i like to post some images here that i've actually - erm - jus' "stolen" from john's original cover artworks & transformed a bit further - so to say ! ;-)

see for yourself now , fellows ...

I'm impressed with the quality of all the artwork that I've seen so far on this site. Thanks for sharing it.
Peter

It's not a mixing desk.

It's actually the optical fibre terminators on my network rack, with the colours messed about with.

The angle disguises it.

We'll have to get some of this artwork added to the gallery section on Quiet City

thank u , guys 'n' gals for all the indeed very nice comments here so far ! :-)

btw : u can put whatever u want of my cover artworks onto your site , alex ! ;-)

Looks good!

Please note that tracks 1-16 are 1983, and the rest are 1985. Apart from the 'bonus tracks'. Oh and the 6Music thing, which was a re-broadcast from 2005.

oh ... erm ... thanx a lot , sarah ! :-)

yep , that's why i wrote "1983" in between the trax on the one side , where the trax 01 - 16 are listed & "1985" in between the trax on the other side ... if u know , what i mean !? ;-)
then i left a space & continued with the bonus trax , which are neither from 1983 nor 1985 !

uhm ... i didn't knew that , sorry ! :-o

okay ... i'll change it accordingly !

okay ... all things corrected & done by now ! :-)

fyi : u can find my complete "bbc radio 1 sessions" cover artworks here @ http://www.jointventureradio.info/de/downloads/Doc%20Jones/Alien%20Disco/.JF/

btw : here are cd 1 & cd 2 ... ;-)





i hope u like it !? :-)

well ... it's been some time since i've last posted anything new here , so ... 2 new(er) cover artworks of mine - one for an ol' album of john & one for a currently not released one ! ;-)

enjoy them , if u like , fellows ! :-)

[img]http://tinyurl.com/36olu4[/img]

... & jus' one more for "metamatica" - possibly the final one !

[img]http://tinyurl.com/2pvbzy[/img]

today i'll continue with my "city of lights" cover artworks series for john foxx & louis gordon & like to present u 2 new designs for it ! :-)





... + one new for john foxx' "in mysterious ways" album of 1985 ! :-)

Interesting artwork, but as a package CD 1 heavily outweighs CD2, which only has four songs? Tracks 5-8 are not from BBC Radio 1, either :p

well ... that's not my fault , martin ! ;-)

i jus' did some cover for it ! :-)

anyway ... here are 2 cover artworks for my favorite songs from john & louis' album "shifiting city" from 1997 now ...

"here we go"



"an ocean we can breathe"

What's interesting is how the songs inspire different visuals in people.

I mean I like these images, but for me they do not relate to my interpretation and understanding of those songs.

well said , martin ! :-)

that's okay , because as u so rightly said before : different visuals are created in the people's heads ... & also because english is not my mother tongue , i may interpret some lyrics & stuff quite differently to what u or other people may hear & see in it ! ;-)

well ... i've by now done 3 different cover artworks for john & louis' 1st album "shifting city" , but i'm not really sure , which one is the best ( if there's anyone @ all !? :-o ) , so ... which one of the 3 do u like most , fellows ? *indeed_very_curious_look_now*

version 1

version 2

version 3

[img]http://tinyurl.com/2s5ry5[/img]

I like the first one best. That's a great image! I feel like I am there.

Yeah, I like the first one best, too.

thanx a lot for your feedback so far , fellows ! :-)

ANY comments - also constructive criticism ! - are welcomed , as long as they are reasonable , of course ! ;-)

cheers ! :-)
