crap, that doesn't work either - ok, it's a picture of bjorn borg, with a headband, looking somewhat like raine's portrait. I suck at computers.

lol, I don't like those photos at all. Creepy looking and that original picture of the cover...is interesting. I don't swing good or bad on it because it has a modern man sorta look.

I definitely like the actual cover better.

As do I, but it has a nice modern everyday man look to it. He's slouchy, baggy. I just hate how cartooney it is.

1- I think that they are really creepy too. I am happy they cut them.........I think i would never open my cd case if I had to keep looking at distorted/depressed looking OLP members. I think the artistry is good, its just not my image of the band and weirds me out.

2- I guess its his work and all, but it seems kind of shady to be selling it on ebay. Hes only profitting from OLP fans.......and its not like he probably wasn't commissioned to do it in the first place...

fuck it, i'm going to start selling all of my old OLP signatures and fan club stuff

I like Raine's thousand yard stare.........he looks slightly out of it.......deflated and unaware of his surroundings.........like he's slightly in shock.......its very well done.

Though comparing him to Jesus was not a good idea. I'm not even religious and I find it a little insulting.

Except that this is actually his artwork. It's what he does for a living. What do you expect him to do, shove all these other pieces in his closet? OLP (Sony, actually) paid for the rights to the painting used on the cover. Everything else is his work to do with as he wishes.

Yeah, I much prefer the cover artwork that they chose...the slouching guy just looks...strange...

I'd love to see all the others in the series of paintings.

[04:34] <nikki4982> is it just me...
[04:35] <nikki4982> or does he kinda look like a combination of the members of olp facially?

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 9/5/2005, 9:00 am

ooh, I like that one.

Still, I like the one used on the cover better.
