This is one of the most enjoyable projects I have ever worked on. The band granted me the rare opportunity to do anything I wanted. They had a great sense of humor that I felt was important to convey in the package. The Mark Todd illustrations I incorporated—a miscellaneous collection of trashed children’s-book esoterica—tied right into that. The only limitation, if any, was the standard CD package, 4/4, 8-panel booklet. I consider the outcome a very happy success.
