For the cover of Pretty Little Dead Girl, a live album, we used live shots taken at OVFF 2005 by a variety of photographers. And that was awesome. For the cover of Stars Fall Home, a studio album with a very eclectic track list, we used a photo taken by GP, combined with the fabulous Photoshop work of Beckett Gladney. And that was awesome.

Got up, went into the spare room to find Nyssa pestering Chris into petting her (which meant he was awake, too) and watched some NCIS before going to breakfast.
