New Unreleased Cover 

 

A long stalled project because i'm bad at finalising things and compiling them. I think this album is so amazing and infinitely inspiring, what I really wanted to show was Lana Del Ray. The transition between Lizzy Grant to Lana Del Rey. I feel like the defining look of that is Lana in the short film Poolside. She looks insanely good there. All the images of Lana used in this packaging are screencaps from the short film which I have retouched and further edited to make look like official photographs and to improve the quality greatly for print. I used the official cover art as a main inspiration because I think even though it's very low-tech it still has a great atmosphere in it, so I wanted to create something similar. The atmosphere in this album to me is very noir-ish, so I chose to use all grayscale images in the booklet, an effect with sunken highlights which makes the images feel quite sultry.

Gatefold LP 12” Vinyl. 
The blue vinyl is the only striking colour here. It's a nod to Lana's homemade videos and her love for party store toy aquariums. It's the opposite to the yellow I featured prominently through the album design.

I've been working on this on / off for so long! Please tell me what you think and be sure to find any lyrics corrections because it's inevitable I probably messed something up!

Loved your version of Honeymoon cover so I thought it would be fun to make it a bit more BTD-esuque (this sounds too funny not to write it).
I hope you don't mind me giving it a spin.
 

she's my sonic and visual soulmate, so i make these. hi everyone

My fav part was most def the run. Shit looked like she was running from something chasing her in a scary movie. Her dress getting caught on something is the perfect white-girl-main character-in horror movie trope. lol

tbqh the beginning perfectly emulated how i act when i listen to lana del rey alone in my room
 
i just wander aimlessly around my room and fall on my bed dramatically like lana that's my thing do you not have any value or respect for originality 

I just watched it again and I just realized she actually ripped that gown when it got stuck lmao
 

 
You can briefly see a piece of fabric where it got caught

Terrible. Questioning anyone's taste who praises such mediocrity

Does anyone get the feeling like she depicts herself dealing with boredom because she doesn't do drugs or drinks anymore?

7/11 is such a Lana title:

 
Though at least Lana plagiarized back with the whole film me at home and on my balcony thing in the HBTB video.

OH MY GOD! I'd kill for a collection like yours!
It's perfect!

TBH i'd rather have more pics of you 

New one

 
still yet to post my Lana Del Ray album packaging, A.K.A. Best fanmade creation ever 

Hey All,
 
I have a interesting question for some of the fans out there. I like to consider myself a nearly obsessed/passionate fan of Lana but I have noticed two terms that people use that are very confusing to me. I have heard the term Queen and Mom.
 
I can understand Queen because I have heard it referenced in her music such 'Queen of Disaster' and also the reference to a 'Queen' of pop which has been a term of endearment for great musicians such as Tina Turner and others. I do not know the exact origin of this moniker but I respect it and would like to know.
 
On the other hand, I have heard the term 'mom' used by a  fan of hers on youtube titled, "Lana Del Rey Got a Restraining Order on Me" and it seems weird since A) Lana is firmly a Millennial (born in '85) and the fan was likely a Millennial B) It seems a little insulting to your actual mother. This was the  only qualm I had with the video as I think the term is rather odd but then again I am unaware what terms are used by high school kids so I may just be out of the loop.
 
Thank you all for the help! 
 
All the best,
 
Carl
 

Dear little Jesus,
 
I'm not asking you many favors, but could you please convince Lana to sing part of one of her new songs in French? I had this dream... it sounded so pretty! If you grant me that wish, I swear I'll quit smoking.
 
Good night lil' Jesus.
 
 
 

I made it, it's art haha

This reminds me of a porn I watched once.
 
 
 
 
Needless to say, I didn't enjoy this but it's a good conversation piece.
 
 
 
Oh and this reminds of the time I found my grandparent's strap on dildo. Traumatizing.
