      I already have artists lined up to do the album cover art for all of the first five volumes of the Hideout comp series, and a couple of people in mind for Vol. 6, but nothing is decided yet on that one. If you would like to show off your stuff and throw your hat in the ring for consideration for future volumes (meaning Vol. 6 on), then post a message below with a link to some of your work so I can check it out.

      Just like with the music for these comps, you're submitting your artwork for the (virtual) cover of one of our compilations. There are no terms (although since the entire comp is offered under a Creative Commons license, your artwork is basically included in that) and you are free to use this artwork elsewhere if you want, of course. You will get credit for designing the cover on the compilation page, naturally. So, while I can't offer you any actual MONEY for your artwork, I can tell you that these comps are getting some great exposure, though, and should therefore likewise bring your work some good exposure and hopefully lead to some actual paying work for you. :)

      Thanks!

      Alex, you can use your new idea, but let's hold off until Vol. 10. I'd still like to use the "Garage Monsters" idea for a more Halloween-themed comp for October release (Vol. 9). I'll see if Stephen Blickenstaff wants to do that one. He's got some pretty great, creepy artwork.

      OK, I did actually come up with another idea that I kind of like more. I'll post the sketch tomorrow, when I get a chance to scan it. But, I'm down to do the Halloween volume, if you'd rather me stick to the original idea.

      Actually, Alex, what I think I might do is use your cover for a Halloween-themed volume... "Garage Monsters"... that would come out in October. If I do it that way, I'll make that Vol. 10. Which means I'd need someone else to do Vol. 9 which I will target for August, if all goes well. I'm gonna wait and see how many more good submissions (songs) come in during the next month or so.

      Hey Alex, that's really cool. Let's save it for Vol. 9, though. I just asked Pheck to do the cover for Vol. 8. Sound good?

      alex barrett said:

      Ok, took me a while, had a bunch of illo work these last few weeks, but here's a sketchfor Vol. 8. It's just a rough thumbnail from my sketchbook, the final art would be as clean as any of the artwork I have posted on my profile. For the title, I was thinking "Garage Monsters", but I just realized that there is already a band by that name. So, maybe "Teenage Mutant Garage Monsters" or "Garage Beasts" or something? Also, I plan on drawing a lot of stuff in the background: tires, pin-ups, spiderwebs, etc.

      Let me know what you think!

      Yeah, thanks, Idon! Hey, Kopper, if Vol. 8 is still open, I'd love to do it! I'll rough out a sketch and post it up here. Oh, yeah, and a good name, too.

      Edit: Or do you have someone lined up already?

      Any ideas for Volume 8? I think we have enough good song submissions to do that one right after Vol. 7 without the need for another big push for submissions. Just need a name and artwork!

      Anyone???
