Album Cover Challenge 146 by olivetreeann

Album Cover Challenge 146

I pulled up some of the oddest combinations for the album challenge this time around and I couldn't think of any images that might work with them. Yes, I know that's hard to believe with all the archives I have at my disposal but the heat and humidity are really taking a toll on me! Well, this combo was the most do-able and thanks to my recent visit to the Electric City Aquarium with Lucy, I had a picture that somewhat worked with the quote. It'll have to do- I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands this week.

Band: The European Rock Pipit- a small species of songbird that breeds in western Europe on rocky coasts.

Album Title from a quote by Herman Melville (American Novelist; 1819-1891)

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."

I really like that quote!
I think your struggles illustrate why I don't participate in this challenge. As I study it I see how the photo fits well with the album title.

Such a fascinating quote, and your album cover fits it to a T. I like the tag also.

LOVE that quote!

And this group’s ‘name’ really made me laugh... European Rock Pipit indeed ! LOL.

I think you did a brilliant job of putting all this together - no easy task! Love the font you used in the first letters, and your image of the rock and the frog. I don't think anyone can succeed in imitating this rock group!

Better well stolen than badly conceived ? I thought it`s a quote of Picasso. No way day`s we say: inspired by....

@pyrrhula Picasso came after Melville (he was born in 1881 and died in 1973)- perhaps he read Moby Dick and other works by the author...I don't know.

Thank you Kathy, Diana, Winghong, Katy, and Steve!

@cocokinetic Thanks Karen! Wikipedia actually had a picture of one next to the info- it reminded me of our Sandpipers at the shore. The frog was actually in a terrarium at the aquarium and he had a companion who was also sitting next to another rock in pretty much the same way. They really did look like rocks! The fonts came from Ribbet.

Thank you Ferry!
