Thank you everyone for voting for my album cover; I had a lot of fun creating it. Thank you to the other photographers and finalists and those who participated in the voting process. Finally, thanks to @summerfield who hosted the last challenge.
On to February's challenge!
1. First, THE BAND: Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia and choose the link for "random article" on the top left side of the page. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2. THE ALBUM: Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and choose "random quotes" from the left menu. Scroll down to the end of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your album.
3. Next, THE ARTWORK: Find or take a photo that fits the album and artist(s). Album covers are square, so don't forget to crop it.
4. Then, use your favorite editing program to create your cover (or, if you don't have one, Ace members have free access to picmonkey.com -- and there are many other free programs out there). You can use any image of yours for the album, old or new, but you must use your own images and do all processing for the cover and upload it during the time frame of the challenge.
To keep this discussion alive and current, you may post your album cover in this discussion thread if you are rather inclined. To do so, click on the square with an arrow pointing right, which is in the bottom right of your post's narrative; then copy and paste the embed code on to the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
Good luck everybody. I look forward to seeing your entries!

Quote:- You've got to find what you love and that is as true for work as it is for lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you've found it. Steve Jobs

Band: Is the Writer Unrewarded?
Quote: If the weak hand, that has recorded this tale, has, by its scenes, beguiled the mourner of one hour of sorrow, or, by its moral, taught him to sustain it - the effort, however humble, has not been vain, nor is the writer unrewarded.
Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
