This is the cover for John Parker's Party Lion CD, recorded under his earcon alias. I did the drawing in MSPaint and Parker designed the type. He tells me that an "earcon" was someone's failed attempt to make an audio icon for the web--failed as in, it didn't catch on. (Just to put it in proper webtrash-appropriating perspective.)
Buy the disc and read the interview at CD Baby, this is real take-no-prisoners manifesto writing. It will convince you to sell your analog gear and old computer from the '80s and start dorking around with some of the current, relatively inexpensive electronic music making tools that are out there.
