  I know it's a little quaint and anachronistic these days, but I still love occasionally making mix CDs for my friends. It's fun to curate a good selection of rare jams, and just as much fun to make custom packaging for them. Sometimes I use found images for the packages, and remix them a bit, and sometimes it's completely from scratch. Here you'll find a variety of different ones I've made over the years, and I'll update this page as I make more.  



  CATCHING UP...
2016 ✦ CG, found images
 
It had been a few years since I made a mix CD for my friend Ryan, who I've been making mixes for since high school, so I made him a set covering various tracks that I'd been enamored with in the years since, plus a bonus CD with music by the amazing Akiko Yano. The imagery used (with the exception of the Yano CD), was taken from 1980's hentai PC game screenshots. (just locations, not the smutty stuff) I printed the outer sleeve on metallic silver paper using laserjet which got a nice rough look, and the inner sleeves on neon paper.
