Hey man, we have a mutual friend [Teniso]. She has shown me a few of your designs in the past, and i happened to come across this one via the handy 'random deviation' button -- Really nice, clean work. Was it commissioned/for a fee, or do you do this sort of quality for free?

Especially impressive is the placement of all the elements in this piece, you have a real eye for aesthetic flow.

How long does a piece like this take?

heya, yeah nijne talks about u a lot hehe. glad u like the design, i was really happy when it all finally came together. Yeah i was commisioned for this piece, it's the first release off a new label, all up it took me about 1 week for this one, but that was stretched out over 2 weeks while i did other jobs. i still havnt seen the finished product though, still waiting for the release.
thx for the comment and glad u like it.

hehe communal stroke, i like that um ive been approached a few times for jobs on DA, but none have ever resulted in anything. all the work i do is through ppl i know, and their recommendations etc. i dont have any other gallery at this point, working on a site at the moment in my spare time (do i have any?) however i have met a lot of great ppl who i talk to regularly through DA.
i'll let u kniw about the cd. cheers.

She speaks of me alot, hm? (all bad, i'm sure heheh).

How were you chosen for the commission? Wondering if this place results in any jobs, or just serves as a communal stroke site of sorts Do you keep a gallery online besides this one?

When it comes out, let me know -- I might pick one up for the packaging alone

hmm, im not entirely sure on what this cd sounds like, their old stuff is not really my flava, bit too full-on, but they might have changed their style since then. available from the saikosounds website though.
thx so much for all your comments and support

Great design, inside and out. Not only is the case wonderfully created, but the disc image is some of the best work I've seen as far as CD art goes.

I love your merging of the "techy" look along with the minimal feel. You've got all that detail there, but it doesn't overwhelm the design and cause a "busy" look at all, a problem with most tech designs. The heavy black and green on top of the white background makes for some great contrast. The ball of intertwined green "nerves" is perfect. Not too busy, not too simple. Very nice subtle effects you've added to it as well.

As far as the disc design goes, it's perfect. You left a few places for text (compact disc logo) and filled the rest of the space. It's bold, it's fun, and it's unmistakeably unique. Great job on that.

Overall, it's very much worthy of the Daily Deviation you received. Props to one heck of a design!
