Live drums by Brent Dacus, from the D/FW area....
it also has a licensed cover of an old classic creedence tune on it!


I want to thank all you forum people that helped me along the way with these songs.....

here's a pic of the original artwork i did for the album cover:

it's acrylic on glass.

i used two 12"x12"pieces of glass separated by rubber bumpers at the corners.....
made about a 1/4" gap between the glass...

i used gold rice paper as the base, and painted the text on one pane of glass, which is on the top...
and the bat on the 2nd pane of glass, which is in the middle.

outside, using a DSLR camera, in natural sunlight, i got real shadows, over a period of time and rotation of the art to the sun, settled on this one.
