Who should design the next NO album sleeve?

I can't seem to get the pictures to load properly, so basically check out the 'Check out my new avatar' thread to see what's on offer...

Hahahaha...

Haven't voted myself yet - it's a tough one, this... Unlike some of the NO Cup matches...

I can see only one winner here.

And that is New Order.

And modern ceramics, of course...

Me.

Here's the sleeve:

Looks like you're taking an early lead Burt...

Well one of the other two must be Peter Saville.

Nice, maybe if we added 'NO,' before 'FIST ME'?

Won't that just resurrect the JD/NO are Nazis thing? On second thoughts - it's controversial - like it... Maybe we could combine this with the Sooty one - a picture of a load of skinheads with a banner saying 'FIST ME' would look rather fetching... But only if it were in ceramics...

Don't know if it would work in ceramics.

I'm sure cozmonite could come up with something, or Burt could get his frisbees and marker pens out...

Shhhh... I'm working on it now. I just need to harness my inner artistic self.

Warsaw will never be the same, Chris.

I'm not so sure if I can design another ceramic piece in time. Spring Break will come soon, and it takes about a week to get the piece to be finalized with the kiln. I can do photography. Now, when are the rules going to come up?

Except put the Vikings in the crowd.

Christopher, what on earth do you type in to google or wherever to get the picture you do?

Animal instinct

True, NO Babe, so true.

Ooh..LOL.. the poll is neck and neck.

Well, I want to make an attempt to design the sleeve. Can't wait for the rules to be posted up.

Hell cozzer, with your previous effort, there can only be one winner.

I bet I'm more persistent than you, Burt.

Burt Reynolds of course! You can tell it's a plate, the New Order cover is reconizable and I wouldn't mind having it in my kitchen.

Sorry Cosmo..if at first you don't succeed... try .....try again.. :rip:

what about Peter Saville? is he refusing to make commerative New Order plates or work in ceramics at all? what a snobby sod.

Yup..I'm replacing him, in between filming Deliverance 2: Piggy's Revenge..

Goodness, is this one still going? Burt, I am concerned that if you take over from Saville, you'll be too busy designing pink Levis to put your full effort and focus into coming up with the ceramic skinhead'n'sweary baby masterpiece... Otherwise Owens will take over and there's no telling what he might type into his search engine...

Not necessarily... Actually I just thought it might be nice to do a collage of all the suggestions we have had so far a la Sgt Peppers... So we could squeeze the little bastard in somewhere... You want to go with the font on your avatar?

Cath, your version of "dead" for a smiley surprises me.

I think you are reading into it too much.

Well, the smiley is a bit grim for a defeat in a mere poll. I like the guitar smiley as a contrast because I just listened to the Doubts Even Here covers for Community 2. I'm thinking of participating in the next competition.

Burt, I think YOU should have an exhibit at the Museum of Bad Art! You won...

stealing my joke.. shame on you

Cozzer..

If your musical abilities match your artistic abilities, you are gonna come out with a feckin classic!

Click on the link that says "Art" and you know where I got the joke from

There, there, Cath. I'm giving you credit. Of course, that joke was a retort for Burt :D .

Well, I'm having a few obstacles for this. The only instrument I can play is the violin. I do have a keyboard (from the 80s!), but I don't know how to play it. I can set the sound scheme to violin, though to get some good sound for a cover. And I also want to have an electric drum set for my birthday. The hard part is to integrate all of the technology together and/or find some band members. Depending, of course.

I'm sensing ya missed the irony, cozzer..

but hell! play away. I reckon 'Fine Time' with a violin could be a first.

Fine Time would be cool. I'm thinking what other songs I could use as a "plan B." And about the irony, Burt, let me make one thing clear: although we have been sarcastic to each other's artworks, do not underestimate me.

I found you a guitar player, now all ya need is a bass player and youre set.

Unfortunately, he does not resemble 2% of my DNA.

And.. you will need someone to play the tamborine!

Well, OK. I guess it has enough intelligence to handle it...

Burt, I hope you have a good hideaway. It sounds like Cozzer is drawing a line in the sand. :)

Yea.. it does sound like it.. and its probably a squiggly line!

Woohoo! Most popular thread! But are we any nearer a decision?

After seeing all of Chris' efforts, i vote Chris.

I wonder if more people are going to vote. I'm just this close to a comeback in the polls.

Already posted on the "Check my new avatar out!" thread, so here goes:

Good news: According to the e-mail I have received today, I will donate my beloved PC&L ceramic trivet to the oncology unit in my university's hospital. I did my art for a good cause. I don't know if anyone in the hospital is a NO fan, but I hope they can understand the roses I've painted on it.:) Good-bye, PC&L... hope you go to a good home.

Mebbe I should be charitable and send mine to your oncology department too. Gimme an email address and I'll send them a J-peg.:)
