I have said before but sometimes doing the artwork is my favourite bit! But I do like telling the tales!
I can tell! Your work was the inspiration for the Name that Tune episode covers. But I was afraid it would be difficult to keep up the regular schedule with consistency, so I actually recorded and scheduled every contest up through 2026, way back in like 2022/2023. It was an effort of great organization, because i recorded all the episodes edited down the footage and saved the videos, then went back and spent a few weeks making the art - all so i could make sure i held consistency without skipping a beat…anyway, yours is a tough act to follow in that regard, i may or may not pick up NTT for another season after 2026, we’ll see…but all my templates i now use were initially inspired by your consistent/awesome format and style. Not ass kissing i swear, just calling it like it is.
I successfully got the thing, now I just have to wait till it ships... In September dammit!
I hate the wait man, i feel ya! Ive had some didgeridoos and flutes come from other parts of the world…in fact, the double Native American flute I call Blod Ravnene, used in the 19th NTT contest (still unsolved ;) came from Russia, and took forever because the lady only built it after I paid, and then shipping was an eternal nail biter…I get anxious waiting on shipments lol
At any rate man, I’m stoked to hear about it when it comes in! …I usually only see text posts from you, but you have a fancy guitar 2 PC thing…do you post audio or video anywhere? You’re probably like a professional studio musician on half the movie soundtracks of our time or something ridiculous, just making sick art and stories on the side for kicks…
