The other night the house was flooded with acetone fumes from the neighbors downstairs. They're doing something to the floors and filled the whole place with a coat of acetone, leaving the windows open to let the fumes waft into the condos upstairs. I had to take the cat and hole-up in the car for a few hours while I figured out how to air-out our place. That was fun. Other than that I've been working on some unfinished art to pair with my music project. I have: A phony subway map of all the tracks A monolith on a martinscape and some hokey elk bird tiles What I'd like to do with some (all?) of these is print them onto paper then scan them back at high-res to get some texture to it to curb the digital-ness.
Holy crap I LOVE the idea of the subway map of tracks... how they relate to each other... thematically, musically... intersections being literal intersections between the tracks... It'd be an interesting way to analyze a group of tracks and decide if they were "related enough" to put together into a single release, or if they should be released as separate tracks. What an interesting way to view your music....!
The music project sounds bitchin'. That's a fine track list design. Sharing once done? Oof.

It actually is done: http://elkbird.bandcamp.com/ I'm just slowly pushing out promotional material after the fact. The fumes were a nuisance, but they didn't seem to cause any harm, especially having sat outside the affected area the whole time.
Dude. Bitchin' sounds, like out of a neon, Tron-esque space opera.
I really like your Elk Bird blocks. They'd be awesome on a sweater. Have you tried to see if there are any filters in the digital editing program you can use? If not, your printing idea sounds really good. One of the things you might want to look at is getting some of the fancier business papers out there. You can get papers with all sorts of color tones from ivory to tea colored, textures from marble to granite to speckled, to specialty fibers like 100% cotton.
