Alley Cat

Dear Artists,

I am so grateful to receive these wonderful, artful alley cats!
I had no idea what to expect, and I could never have imagined
that people from so far and wide would want to play.  The art
is fantastic and I can’t stop myself from scrolling through it
again and again – and with such a smile on my face – you have
no idea!
I don’t know how on earth I will decide.  That’s another thing
I did not anticipate – they are so varied and unique!!  Whatever
will I do?!?
Thank you ALL deeply and sincerely!!!
Love,
Annie

The contest has ended 

This is the title track from my soon-to-be-released fourth CD.  Anyone who has seen my earlier CDs knows that I love the art of CD packaging and for this next venture I had an idea for something interesting.

I have so many friends who are fine, fine artists and I know there are zillions more I don’t know – so I thought, what if anybody who felt like it listened to this Alley Cat story and created a piece of art in any medium they chose and then photographed it and sent me a digital image and once I had them all I could choose the ones I love the most for the CD packaging and lyric booklet.

I would also pay for the privilege of using this art: $100 for the front cover, $50 for the back cover and $25 for any I use in the lyric booklet – plus a copy of the CD when it comes out.

Plus, I’ll keep this website up and display all the cool alley cats that people create!  I hope to have the CD mixed and mastered by mid-summer and the graphic artist will need the images before that – so we have to get right on this.  The new arbitrary deadline that I just made up is April 2nd (so nobody thinks it’s a joke for April Fool’s Day if I said the 1st).

I hope this sounds fun and interesting…..I can’t wait to see what happens!!!!!
