guys guess what my favorite fall out boy album is. you’ll NEVER get it.
(reblogs greatly appreciated!!)
alternate versions and commentary under the cut!
it was pretty easy designing a poster for “Take a Vacation!” (which is another cool album by the young veins and you guys should TOTALLY check out my art for that hehehe) but I had SO MUCH trouble with “So Much (For) Stardust” —i had to listen to that album on loop for like two whole entire days to figure out what I wanted to do with it. i have too many thumbnails to count (and a WHOLE page of notes about the album) but the design you see w/ the bubble genuinely came to me in a dream as i was about to sleep. go figure huh
anyway, the bubble popping is supposed to mimic the look of stardust (or, at least, what I imagine stardust to look like), and the bubbles are a callback to the official album cover!! it was actually my first time drawing bubbles, so it was a bit of a challenge (read: a huge pain in my ass. i’m not even getting paid for this, i put myself through that WILLINGLY). all the writing is hand-lettered except for their names (that was in canva LOL!)
also, just a side note, my fav fob album is cork tree, i just reeeeeaalllly wanted to make art to this one.
here are some of the (basically unhelpful and illegible but cool) notes i took on the album:
and here’s the concept that I scribbled right before passing out! (it’s. rough.)
anyway that’s it byeeeeee!!!!!! (and go stream so much (for) stardust!)
