Awesome. glad you found the image. i was thinking when i actually got the album i would try to hunt down the artist. but the internet speeds up that process for sure. i love the art. i have been a fan since the start and i have to say this is my favorite album art so far. glad you like that tattoo. i think the guy did a pretty amazing job recreating it.
i wrote a blog about it too, but it might be hard to get to…so here is what it said:
well, i got a tattoo today. it is to show my loyalty to dashboard confessional and my faith and trust in them to not disappoint. i have been following dash from the start and have loved seeing the band grow. the music is a part of me and my life. and i have been thinking about getting a dashboard tattoo for a while. (my wife courtney and i already have lyrics from ‘hands down’ on us, but that is more about us than the band itself). and when i saw this art for the new album on wednesday i knew i had it. so as a leap of faith in dashboard and ‘the shade of poison trees’ today i got this…(pic of tattoo)

it’s definitely a cool feeling; i’ve had a few people get tattoos of things i’ve designed as well, and it’s kind of incredible to think that they’ll carry my art around with them for the rest of their lives.

i just found your blog by accident, i’m really enjoying it. you made me want to get the new shellac album when you said that it gave you the grown up feeling of first hearing black flag… i remember that feeling well….
