Wu-Tang Design Remix Project pt.2
So I want to take back something I said in Part 1 -- "almost all of the Wu-Tang album art was horrible" is a bit too harsh I think. Some people have really run with that and gotten quite upset, and rightfully so. There are definitely some good ones in there. I've thought about it and I think it would be more accurate to say that my real problem with the original covers was how disjointed they all looked when put in the same playlist. The cleverest thing the Wu-Tang Clan ever did was negotiate separate contracts for everybody, but since these came out on so many different labels the cover art varies drastically. The "Wu-Note Project" is my attempt to amend this all the covers work as a set.
Let me know what you guys think of Part 2, either in the comments here or on Flickr, where I'm posting each as they're made. All in all I'm pretty happy with them, although I wish there was a Killa Bees Volume 2 fit into this series chronologically so I could do that Thelonius Monk yellow/red trick.

The Killa Bees one is my favorite.

I saw these on another site already, but I'm glad to have the opportunity to address the original designer.
I love the way you brought Blue Note's sense of design, negative space, and typography to a group so eclectic like Wu Tang Clan.
I'm going to check out your other works and post this on my blog with a link back here. please check out mine, I'd love to hear your input.

These are fantastic, man. Love the Blue Note aesthetic - you pull it off well. I'm definitely a purist about havin all the right art in my cover flow... but these ones beat the originals, so they're making the cut. Well done.

I was wondering if youre going to go all out on these and do some mixtape covers.
Raekwons Vatican mixtape series sounds fertile for a visual remix to me!

@ostione:
Yeah I worded that really badly. What I meant was that I wish Vol 2 fit into this series chronologically, but my plan all along has been to stop at The W.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Is there anyway you can zip all of them and post it for download (or send it to my email, at least)?

Wow, these are simply amazing. A fantastic concept, executed flawlessly! Wu-Tang and Blue Note are two great tastes that taste great together. You should sell prints of these-- if I had really high-res versions, I'd decorate my house with them. Well done!
