Inspired by pgss' post in another thread,what's your favourite artwork for a Stina release?

For me,I'm especially fond of all the blue/black MOAC releases-the album (espec in the LP largescale version),
the MOAC single (Stina with a hood? on),


and the Another Story Girl 45


But I also love the photos on ASCHE-mysterious and atmospheric; the unity and intensity of the 'Dynamite' artwork (and the red star is such a great simple image) especially all the contemporary pics of Stina looking dangerous and a bit crazy,and the cover pic of 'This Is'.

And this:-

hmmm....FortuneCity? Don't think i've ever seen that particular release,Dave?

My favourite artwork has to be the front cover of the 'And She Closed Her Eyes' album.

I know i've told this story before but.........15 years ago on a visit to a now closed local MVC store, I was browsing the racks when i spotted this album cover. It just stood out like a beacon from every other cd on the racks. It demanded my attention and i just had to pick it up. And really it was the combination of the cover and the intriguing songtitles on the rear that sold the album for me. I bought the album there and then and the rest,as they say, is history.

Fifteen years down the road i've no regrets at all and am just thankful that the album was unobscured on the rack that morning.

Is that pic not coming out? It's linked to a picture on Hegude's site (Stina discog etc) at Fortune City,well worth a visit for the uninitiated; contains (thanks to yours truly) quite a lot of Stina interviews.

No,i'm just seeing a default 'ForuneCity' logo web-hosting box but it might just be with my set-up.....can anyone else varify what they see?

yes. this is the best

But the pointy bit on the right has obviously been damaged at some point so i'd automatically deduct one star for that.

I love the 'This Is ...' cover. It reminds me of Catholic imagery, like a painting of a saint. She even has the halo and the hand across her breast for submission. I've always wondered if that was deliberate or just a coincidence.

That's weird -my pic link to Fortune City has disappeared on my browser now,to be replaced by wot Rob said (could be because I've just reset Safari).

Oh well.It was that picture on the back of the 'Little Star' rerelease with Stina standing in front of a telly.

I wonder what she was watching on the telly?

agree.

The single artwork is also great:

For me it's the artwork of the Sharon and Hope single.
