Well, I decided to post another version I made up a while ago.
Made some minor tweaks and figured enough was enough. This one is far more textural and retro-ish in it’s overall theme. I also added a tasteful “release love for sale” graphic.
Anyway, figured I’d share it once again, for any of you other die-hard Bilal fans out there who’d like artwork but don’t have the means to produce some.
I’d really love a shot at designing a cover with actual high resolution studio images, instead of scraping the internet.
Note: This prints best on standard card stock. It gives it a nice vintage faded look, which I was going for.
The Cover for iTunes/internets:

Bilal — Love For Sale Artwork II
Downloadable zipped file:
Contains high resolution PDF’s of the Front Insert and the Back Tray Card, also includes the above iTunes album cover.
right-click and choose “save link as” or simply click it and it should give you a download prompt.
As always, comments much appreciated.
Take care peoples,
Joe

Good lookin out on this my man. Keep em comin. Dope material.
Thanks a lot Astro Physicks and you’re most welcome!
I just wish the damn album would get an official release.
thanks man. can’t believe there is so little out there on a cat this big in the underground. dude looks very different wo the locks btw
Wow, actually thought this was the actual album cover. Honestly, great work Joe.
Thank you kindly Davian!
I’d love to design an actual album cover for Bilal. He would be a dream client.
It’s like mixture of sensuality, elegance, and imperfect bliss. To me it really captures the layers of love and Bilal’s style. I’m not an artist, nor am I a critic of art, but I know something good when I see it and this is good. If this is what you can do with scraps from the internet, my imagination of what you could do with actual high resolution studio images could only pale in comparison to how expansive your talent really is.
You Go Boy!!!
Peace ~n~ Love
