CALL FOR ARTISTS
Spraygraphic: First Annual Lost Album Art Show

Spraygraphic.com is calling for artists and designers to grab an old album cover and be creative with it. Take an album cover and create THE LOST ALBUM...Imagine your favorite band asked you to re-design your favorite album...What would your Album Art look like if given the chance...

For example, the Beatles asked you to design their upcoming REVOLVER album...what would your album art look like...or VAN HALEN asks you to design 1984...what would your cover art look like...

So that is what we want...original album art for your favorite album/band. 

 We expect to end up with a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and fresh vinyl records from all over the world.

The show will be at Hoodlums Records in Tempe, AZ on April 10th, 2010!!!!!!!!!
