So
Ya know how I mentioned in my previous post that I made this Samurai Jack oc based on a character I saw in a dream?
Well
It happened again.
Kind of.
It was Demongo himself with two heads, but I felt like making a different design entirely with that concept.
& then my hubby @aceofcards0715 wanted to join in on the fun & made his own, gifting me his bby to have since he didn’t know what to do with her.
So now I have 3 fire bbies
Since I originally made Boron Demongo’s “brother” (which… I mean, I like to think he was just created under similar environmental circumstances, saw Demmy, & went “you’re my brother now! We’re having soft tacos later!”), I guess uh
I guess I’m just starting a new trend of creating Demongo siblings…
It’s like the fuckin “Demongo children craze” of old & im kinda vibing with it IWNWKWMWOSMSODKWODM
Uh
If any of y’all feel like making your own
Pop off! I’d love to see em!
I used this chart for the names & colors & shit, so if ya wanna go by this thing, go right ahead!

this CD does not exist.
but having grown up with my dad's CD collection keeping me company during the long summers between school semesters i became familiar with a wide variety of album art that informs my creative practice to this day. at my dad's recommendation i listened to all sorts of music from the 70s, 80s and 90s, mostly settling on classic and prog rock greats like Rush, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin but occasionally dipping into metal (Megadeth, Metallica, Judas Priest) or new wave (Talking Heads & Devo) or the work of experimentalists, pioneers and other unconventional trendsetters like David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Thomas Dolby.
Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Collective Soul and Temple of the Dog chewed me up and dragged me through the 90s before eventually i turned towards more modern styles, becoming enamored with the complex, chaotic and often psychedelic sound of The Mars Volta; the constantly evolving structures of prog rock (King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Yes); the plucky, jagged melodies and odd textures and time signatures of noise and math rock (Deerhoof, Toe, Piglet, Maps and Atlases); the sprawling introspective soundscapes of post-rock (GY!BE, Sigur Rós, Explosions in the Sky, The Evpatoria Report, Tortoise); the sometimes-moody sometimes-peppy vibes of indie rock (Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, The National, Cake); the walls of sound of shoegaze, slowcore and all manner of sad rock (My Bloody Valentine, Codeine, Red House Painters).
this one doesn't exist either 🤭
eventually my love for guitar-driven music waned and i found myself lost in an auditory labyrinth of synthesizers and drum machines. from synth pop to minimal techno, house, IDM, EDM, vaporwave, chiptune, future funk, jazz fusion, drum and bass, ambient - you name it, i at least passed thru. Oneohtrix Point Never, Four Tet, Tortoise, Jaga Jazzist, James Blake, George Clanton, Brian Eno, Blank Banshee, Aphex Twin, Floating Points, Infinity Frequencies and Disasterpeace are just a handful of the electronic artists that have had massive impact on my personal artistic practice in recent memory.
all this to say - i've seen a lot of album covers in my time, and by extension i've imagined many more band names, song and album titles and the covers that might accompany them, but i've never really done anything about all that - until now. my ongoing collection "this CD does not exist" provides a framework for me to imagine artwork and a teensy bit of accompanying lore for albums that don't (and will likely never) exist. it's a place to indulge in all the fun of imagining music projects without any of the pressure (or massive time and energy investment) of forming a band and actually making it happen!
but of course CDs aren't only used for music - i grew up playing plenty of video games on my old Windows 95/98/XP PCs in the days before downloadable content (Myst, Diablo and Rollercoaster Tycoon stand out in particular) and the art and design choices of the CD packaging from early PC games will live with me the rest of my life. those influences will undoubtedly creep in every once in a while... and definitely already have.
