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.

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. Wink

The chronological Zappa on guitar images from his career at the top are rather nice.

mmmmm What is the significance? 'cause I might not know it.. LOL

Thanks.!

If it wasn't intentionally this, it's the void he has left.

hmm that makes sense. i was originally thinking it was a reference to "The Black Page" but yours works too.

great collage btw!!! awesome!!!

when is that picture in the top left corner from? FZ with no facial hair??!!?!!!??

Hey! Thanks. Are you talking about the photo of zappa without a mustache? jeee.... if it is that one I found it in one of those website dedicated to Zappa.

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. Embarrassed

got it?

That would be awesome if this artwork is publish as an album cover.

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.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
