I know a couple of graphic artists who do stunning work.
Cant say enough good about District9 and Heroin Hero.
Ive also done alot of artwork myself, and done some for friends before
Usually the label provides art though, n you have minimal thinking to do.

Myself usually.
Theres a guy who lives near me who done flyers for our club night (who actually posts on here) called Gko - his work is brilliant.

My friend and I made the artwork for my ep together. He found the picture and we brainstormed the rest. I'm pretty happy with it.

Amen.
My guys either use thier own photography, or hand paint/draw the images.

its cool, but if it hasn't been specifically designed for you it kinda lacks in personality

I am a photographer. I've only done one release, and it was my own photography, although the label did the text etc. I'd imagine i'd probably use more of my photography if I was confident my work was ready to be unleashed, but I keep outdoing myself hahaha
This is my flickr page

Normally I'd agree, but he was showing me a bunch of pictures that he took and one or two that he had found a while ago and that one caught my eye instantly. It was edited a
lot too.

Heres a low-res version of one of the robots district9 painted for me.
http://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000010444 ... pg?42d2cf4
Im not gonna bother with the big bold ms paint letters, but dont steal my image, its completely original, hand-drawn work, and has my logo worked into it in several places, so taking it would do no good.
This though, is why you hire a professional. Quality, hard work, beautiful products, not MS paint scrapwork, not stolen google images.

HOLY crap! That is amazing man! Seriously some sick work! My only question is how? How do they create such images?

Time and effort.
Knowing how to use colours and blending techniques.
Graphics tablets work too.
Its just like writing tunes, it just takes time; a lot of it!
I was going to post up some work ive done for future releases but like Basic A said; I don't really want people to steal it.
