Illustrated Album Covers - The Blue Album by Weezer

Inspired by the illustrations from classic children's books, this is one of 18 new illustrated album covers I put together for an art show in my hometown.

Weezer’s eponymous first album, though it’s more commonly known as The Blue Album. Big shout out to the Windows 95 startup disc for introducing me to the Buddy Holly video!

All album covers were initially sketched in pencil, then scanned into Illustrator and then traced into a Live Paint vector image. Shading and strokes were added in Illustrator as well, using the amazing RetroSupply Co. Gouache Shader Brushes.
