Album Illustrations by Diego L. Rodríguez

Artist statement:
2010 was one of the most productive years in my career as illustrator.
Personally, this year was amazing because I worked on several projects for Hip-Hop producers, witch included some of my favorite artists.

Here is a selection of some of the cover artwork done during 2010.
If you are interested to see more projects, you can visit my website: ParanoidMe.com

Music I'd like see in a commercial Part III

The Verve remixed compilations are edible audible fun. So much material here that could perfectly underscore any commercial. Music is the perfect way to bring in star power or depth to a spot. These CDs feature classics like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald & James Brown remix with some of the best new DJ's and producers.

M11X shows us behind the scenes of how he created the latest album art.

Ohio Players Album Art

Was there anything more erotic (to a little kid who had no idea what eroticism was, or why he couldn't stop staring at the icky, cootie ridden, naked lady who made his pants feel funny) than a Ohio Players album cover.


My dad would always keep these a vinyl disc or two back from the front of his neatly arranged rows of classic-plastic 70's funk. But me and my older brothers made sure our musical, if not visual, favorites stayed mysteriously in eye shot. As if the covers weren't provocative enough, the cover art fold-out gave you the full Leroy!


We knew if we heard the dulcet funky yelps of the eye-patch afro coiffed lead singer Sugar-foot sangin' "sweet sticky thing" "Skin tight" or "Love Roller-coaster" We should come around to see, I mean hear what Daddy was jammin' to.

"Love roller coaster, say what chile, Love roller coaster, Let me ride one mo time, yeah!"

Now days this kind of photography is reserved for lotion ads. Even though I suspect they've always been good for lotion sales (Nah-mean).
