Hallo,

We can,
however, put a nice frame around our art. If we are artists we
will know if it hurts our art or not and we can easily find out which
type of frame that will be perceived as 'honorable'. Personally, I find
there is a great depth of that kind of art available in the commercial
music field. They sure know how to frame things.
Absolutely! Images sell!
I can only recommend to get a real designer or artist to do covers,
websites etc. Don't let a pure PHP-coder near the design of your
website and don't let a pure musician do the print cover of a CD.
Ah. Would say that it has to do with the intended audience. Look at Exploited
and such. Audience don't give a crap about how they look. Just how they sound
((and that could also be debated) :-).

And anyway, Maluvia, Carlo and Frank, I disagree on the importance of
graphics and imagery. You surely need it to sell something, but I don't
want to sell myself or anything else. My message is just: if you
appreciate what I do, you can support me. Period.
Recently I've redesigned my website from scratch, and I decided to make
it as simple as possible. I want to concentrate on things more important
to me, like music. You can't believe how much this choice has freed my mind.
