Yes, this. I love the graphic identity of everything up to BBWFASF. Not always my favorite style (Barking era art was a mess, but a fun mess!) But distinctively UW/Tomato. Barbara just looks generic.

Drift episode art has had an identity given the italicised common font and square photo. It's very "in your face" or bold, and so is the sampler cover. But the dog is just sort of random, and im still bothered that it's right (your left) shoulder doesn't show through the R. Not s great compositing job.

I'd rather the artwork feature something interesting from one if Taylor's videos. Lots of cool images in there that better fit the music than a happy (?) dog.
