A collection of Gazilcher album art

From the Gazilcher Tumblr page:

Album art is a term sometimes used (shame on us) for the tiny pic that accompanies an MP3. I am of the generation that covets it’s collections of vinyl eased out of gatefold sleeves. I just looked at the MP3 album art as a different animal. A teensy weensie, possibly imaginary one, but a different animal.

I saw it as a continuation of the traditional artform of adolescent, aspiring musicians in creating their own artwork for albums that would probably never see the light of day. Hand drawn on a TDK SA-90 cassette j-card, for example.

Gazilcher album art is rarely for an album at all. A different “cover” can be created for each song. Also, because they are typically viewed at a ridiculously small size, I sometimes harken back to the days of having to create illustrations and typography for video games in a crude, blocky pixel medium.
