With Arms Outstretched

Here's an assignment I did for Narrative Illustration... the assignment was to do a front and back album cover for a song, as if it were coming out as a single LP. for mine, I chose "With Arms Outstretched" by Rilo Kiley. The lyrics are here! These are also my first official gouache paintings! I had a lot of fun with these.

For some reason, Blogger killed the colors a little, so they appear way more desaturated in these scans than they do in real life. Sigh, technology. If i can get better color scans I'll update this later.
