Artist's Comments

We play Secret Santa every year at my favourite forum where everyone makes a mixtape and snail mails it in time for christmas.

I like themed CDs and this year I chose water/ocean/rain. Basically I drew all of this in photoshop, had it printed and then assembled everything with strong double sided tape. :)

I'm particularly proud that the pop-up with the mermaid and the sailor actually worked. :lol:

The very first pic shows the matching slipcover.

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Have you heard Thrice's new album, the Alchemy Index? Disc 2 is all themed around the element of water, and it's gorgeous and awesome, a song off of it would fit here I'm sure.
Amazing design, great craftsmanship.

Because there's too many tunes going round in my head

Thanks so much for the fav, and no, not a big fan of Thrice, sorry. ;P

The digipack actually looks even better in real life that in the pics. The colours (especially the blue) are more vivid. Last year I made one about winter/cold/snow with a minimalist penguin design. :D

And it's so simple to make, just some cardboard to wrap your artwork around, a slim case CD tray and double sided tape or glue.

I sent it off yesterday, hope my "victim" will like it.

Yeah, I've got a stockpile of digipack cds so I can use the tray part in homemade cases like this. Double sided tape is definately the best, when I discovered that everything became a lot better. And, also, I don't know really anything else by Thrice, I gather most of their music is like poppy screamo stuff, but the water disc specifically is like, electronic post-rock type stuff, like Radiohead or Sigur Ros or Team Sleep.
