The cover to a mix CD I made for a girlfriend, back in… 2002? I think? The “Breaking the Water” reference was to a misnomer in speech I made while speaking to her, I meant to say “break the ice” and I said “break the water” – which is just silly.

The paint background was from a scanned in disposable palette. The detailing on the letters was some of my first work with a wacom tablet, same with the color on the little guy. I love that thing (although I haven’t made use of it in awhile, I think I’m going to use it for some retouching on this site.

Again, I was sort of ripping off the “Zim” style at the time but I am still fairly happy with the way this piece looks.
