Time Tide Illusion Artwork

The honda civic image was taken by my Sister as a photo in Orlando and then made an artwork/ silkscreen by Dave Baugh for the show with Bilndspot in May 1992. I used it to make the current album (Time Tide Illusion) which combines old DP with new Cinema X that Adam and I worked on. It was also used to honor DW's passing.  https://cinemax.bandcamp.com/album/time-tide-illusion
