Acquiring The Giant's Taste (Tribute to Gentle Giant).

Well, Once again I managed to finish another difficult collage.( 3 days straights with hardly any sleep) 
Difficult because Gentle Giants is one for those bands that didn't have many albums 
and the band pictures are hard to find.
Special high Resolution images, but I did what I could with what I found. It was with a great pleasure
to create this collage to the one bands that took me quiet sometime to get into back in the 80's.
However, now they are one the most important band in my whole in-tired collection 
and in the History of Prog. GG is an unique band that created wonderful odd music.
Quiet Original to my ears and one of the lesser rock
prog band from the 70's. GG was a band to remember and it deserves more exposure..

Enjoy GG fans!Wink!
your Buddy!
Darksideof.

GG hadn't much albums? They made eleven of them!
But that doesn't really matter, it's a great collage!
Maybe you should send it to the official GG site?

I have had every collage of yours as a wallpaper, and I switch every time there's a new one. But there is too much "real-life", not much animation, like you did with Genesis.

 Thanks...true but on the genesis, Dream Theater  I did the same thing.. the sky the water are my own images. Embarrassed. GG doesn't have that many animation albums' covers. I try to create something unique.
Also the hand image is my hand. I guess I am creating very personal collages.Wink

Gentle Giant is definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite band from that era at the moment.

Awesome picture- even though I'm not one to put posters on the wall. :D

Another great collage. Whenever I listen to GG I always imagine I'm listening to medieval minstrels for some reason.

Hey ! Thanks... Yes I do. 
Let me tell you about my prints not  just to persuade you to buy any, but it is good sh*t!.
I do them at this printshop that has a $25,000.00 Dollars machine. They do some quiet amazing job. If you like the digital image you will love the prints even more. Why? The colors look cso vivid and bright and of mention the details of all images.
 
You can visit my blog for details of how to purchase it. Also you can view all my collages so far..

Very nice. I thought it was very interesting the first time I looked at it. I was expecting a lot of bright stuff, as GG always sounds very colorful to me, but you used a darker color scheme. Not that it's a bad thing at all, I applaud your creativity.Clap
