Fair enough. The initial "pit" question was quite asinine considering most of his work is in a similar iconic/graphic style.

Im curious as to who you listen to other than PJ?
And who do you consider artist in the business(music industry)?

This is all none of my business, and your probably trolling anyway.

Yeah, because that's what good artists do; repeat themselves all the time.

Plus they have done a good job of sounding different on each album, if LB ends up as backspacer 2 then it would be the first time they have really repeated a sound

:lol: He looks derpy in this photo, but the artist seriously cranked the depriness up to 11 in the sketch.

I'm not trolling I'm just a member of RM stating an opinion, which to the uninitiated might look similar.

He just likes to post "off the cuff", or "by the seat of his pants" if you will.

Yeah, because that's what good artists do; repeat themselves all the time.
I think he's just looking for more evidence that Don Pendelton designed the cover. As far as I can tell, it's just a person on the Pit that thinks the cover kinda looks like Pendelton's art. A lot of the art on his website looks very similar, and not quite like the LB cover.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Ah, I see! That makes perfect sense. OK, ignore the post.

An animated video with this artwork would be incredible.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm getting bored of the negativity. Is anyone still anticipating this album? Shall I pay my 20 quid a year and join the Pit?
