I talked to Bob Calvert today and cleared most of the points with him. They still haven't finished the final mix but he's fairly positive that there will be six or seven tracks. On your side will go the band's names and on mine the track titles. Also, somewhere we have to include the word HAWKWIND - OK, so far?

Now this is important. To make the word HAWKWIND stand out from all the other lettering and painting (which after all is the whole point of the exercise) it should print as white. Therefore AMAZING MUSIC should be in coloured tones i.e. lettering in red, shadow on lettering in yellow, for example.

Evening in a futuristic city. Over the city looms a large face metamorphosing into a wolf. The face is strongly lit from beneath. On the plaza floor is a sort of "Batmobile". In the foreground a girl runs towards you.

To get the period style correct I'm doing the artwork in watercolour. When the order and the final tracks are ready I'll letraset all the copy and paste it on an overlay. If, at that stage, you can get your painting to me, indicating the position of the words, I'll artwork it in. OK. over and out bass pencils.

By the way, I think you should sign the painting with a 1930's flourish. I'm calling myself 'Grove Lane' (after a street where my friend lives).
