Dave Little - Renegade Soundwave

OK, after posting about the new OMD cover by Peter Seville, I decided to highlight my other two favorite album cover artists. Both of these are late 80, but they rock none-the-less!

First up is Dave Little. Dave has a very cool distinctive look that he created for one of my favorite club/bud band, Renegade Soundwave. My favorite cover he did was for their single "Cocaine Sex"

I also had the RSW logo he designed painted onto my leather jacket in college. Bad ass!

Next up, Ian Anderson, founder of The Designers Republic. They did all the covers for the band "Age Of Chance" from 1986- 1987. Wicked cool stuff (pre-desktop publishing, no less), like the cover of "Don't Get Mad...Get Even!" and the 12" of the Price cover "Kiss", and my favorite, the artwork for the cover and inner sleeve of their 1987 debut LP,"1000 Years Of Trouble"

Rock On!

The Long Lost Art of Longbox!

If you grew up in the 80's (like yours truly), then you will remember the CD Longbox!  Yes, at one time (in the not too distant past) humanity was more concerned about packaging aesthetics than "wasteful" consumer practices...ah, the good 'ol days.

Here is a little video I made of the long lost art of opening a longbox - enjoy!
