Ego Trip - Alter Ego 7"

Here's a record that has been out for a while now. I also did some work for Ego Trip's demo last year. I'll admit that I struggled a bit with the front and back for this one, and when looking at it now, it might look a little too computerized. I am not a fan of when cut and paste stuff gets edited in a way that makes it look like it was faked. Also, the brick wall should have been limited to just a small part at the very top of the canvas, The inlay however looks a lot better.

In usual fashion I combined different things here. Pen in hand, printing photos and re-scanning them, editing in photoshop etc.

For the labels I had some fun with a photo I took of Pat (of Ego Trip) together with his CTW label mate Tomas in Helsinki, Finland. The guys are actually standing by a statue that resembles the logo of the label, but that can't be seen. I like such little references, especially on labels, where I think it's more than okay to fuck around a little bit. Also putting Pat into a photo of Public Enemy just seemed like a fun thing to do.
