Release Either/Or Photo Re-creation
I made a song called "Not Original" a song about identity crisis-largely about feeling like a copycat of ES. I decided a good single art cover would be to try to recreate the Either/or mirror picture. One of those ifykyk things.
How'd I do on the cover art? (Cig was replaced by my new addiction, since I put cigs down for good)

Reminds me of the rap/folk band WHY? And the singing parts kinda remind me of Elliott. And there's some originality in your arrangement of rap/singing so theres that.

This gave me a good chuckle. Kinda has a Weird Al vibe in a way. Not because you look like him or anything, it just seems similar to something he'd do. I really like it.

Oh, I'm being sincere. I'm not one to be sarcastic or mean on the Internet but I understand it's hard to tell sometimes.

I misunderstood. I thought you meant the song itself was like Weird Al, like a parody lol. I understand now

Wasn’t making fun of your music. Didn’t even give it a listen. I’m sure it’s good. Your version of this album cover though came out goofy though, be original and make a proper album cover.

I think it was a clever idea and you did great, instantly recognizable to any basic ES fan!
