Just wanted to write a quick note to wish you all a Happy Halloween! I'll be tending the front door in my jammies, thank you.
Since I've managed to catch up a bit on my monthly content calendar, I'm trying to put together five verse-chorus ideas before completing November's patron release.
Ideally, those five ideas will evolve into completed tracks to give me 14 contenders for the next album. I'll likely pare that down to 11 or 12 tracks, or even 10 if I want to leave the door open for vinyl again.
I'll soon be sharing a remix with you that's scheduled for January 6 release. I'm messing around with cover art ideas, two of which are above.
I think the first one (girl looking to the side) is best, or at least the closest to what the artist is looking for. The only concern is that people might think the subject of the photo is the artist, and not just “the girl” that the song is about.
I volunteered to put together some cover art ideas as practice. I've finally gotten around to learning a little Photoshop! The third image above was cleaned up and upscaled from this:

I think the AI thought the lines and flaming embers, or whatever those are, added to the atmosphere.
I'm confident I could do a much better job on the “Wrath” cover now, but oh well. It'll be out on Friday!
What's your favorite Halloween candy? Mine's Swedish Fish, though I'll go ahead and vow right now not to eat any!
Brian.
