 We there you have it!. for those that voted for Mr. Zappa! I have to admit this is must be one my hardest collage to make so far( that is why I called Zappa bloody Zappa. It was bloddy as hell!  . It was such a big challenge you have no idea! I had no f**king idea! knowing all ready that Zappas' artworks were all ready wild and crazy!. I didn't want to copy the styles of the original artworks. That was the biggest challenge.! I want to create a piece of artwork to stand of it own from Zappas' albums and my other collages. I want to create something new but WILD! so take your time a lot to view! However I was happy and glad of the final result.!  what ya! think?Enjoy Thanks to all the fellas that voted.

Very nice. I'm looking for him on the toilet, though, and can't see it (that would've been my centrepiece).

I see there's a rather large dark area. I think I know the significance of that... The chronological Zappa on guitar images from his career at the top are rather nice. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Excellent!  I don't even remember who I voted for in your poll. I particularly like the two face-on views on either edge of the collage, and the guitar sequence on top. There's so much in there, I keep scrolling back up to it, and see something different every time. Great!

Fascinating doesn't suit well, but let me say it's another great, great work! Even if I had expected a brighter background, still it fits well after all. I really like the top like if it were those things of the video tapes, the scenes... Also had expected a bit more than just...well, Frank....maybe Ruth Underwood or Terry Bozzio with the devil's mask. Yeah I know, there were hundreds of musicians on board with Zappa, so that makes sense why you didn't put any of them. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh, not really my intention...just my thoughts... |

No! don't apology! I truthfully appreciated your criticism and personal view. well Like I said at the intro post. This most be one of the most difficult college I ever made so far, and maybe the one that had taken me the longest. specially the "We're only in for the Money" Image. the Problem I guess is that most zappa artwork are his face not the musicians that played in his band. 80% of them. to answer your question why I didn't use any of the musicians? well I really did! take a real close to the bottom right image ( We are only In for the Money ) I changed 99% of all the faces images and replaced with the band members. take a real close look.I used a dark background because the main images are his face and were originally done in a black background.

Hi,
Dark ... that is a magnificent piece of work ... you should send a copy of it to Gail, Dweezil and the record label ... you will probably find your work being used and paid for ... this is excellent stuff.
I didn't see 200 Motels on it btw ... needs to be there. The toilet shot is not needed, as I think it is one of the things that a lot of music honchos in Hollywood don't like ... to admit they are human and have to defecate once in a while instead of just chasing girls in a hollywood bungalow.

Thanks Buddy! I will.. but do you have such email to contact them? That sound great . I am dying to my collage to be publish in a record label or do so officially work for a band. I truthfully appreciate your sincerely wishes. Thanks.200 Motels and others I didn't include them becuase I was afraid to over crowded the collage. I want to keep it a bit simpler, but at the same time "WILD" like zappa's music.  got it?That would be awesome if this artwork is publish as an album cover. ------------- http://darksideofcollages.blogspot.com/ http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Darksideof-Collages/ |

Nicely put together and I also like the how the black/dark theme ties it together. It makes me want to spend more time trying to get into more Zappa. My favorite right after the PF one, but I like it more than the Miles Davis one, although I love them all. I look forward your next collage. |

You know, Marillion has such great and varied artwork..... I think if you really put forth your best effort you could create something incredible from that

That sound good! I guess that's the point and I am glad that I can be a vehicle to move prog fans to get into a band or genre that might be unknown to them . wow I am soo touch and honor ! That even happen to me when I did the collage about the Italian bands. I discovered and now I am a fan many bands that were obscure Well, I only knew the 4 main ones ( Le Orme, PFM, Area and Banco). bands like Osanna, II Balletto Di Bronzo (Ys), Delirum, Cervello ect... Incredible bands that made incredible music as good as the known ones.. I highly recommend them. Well, Genesis is next is coming along pretty Good.
