Module 4 - Book Cover (part 1)

Hi all,

This was yet another tough one. I don't particularly find myself drawn to Jazz, Folk or modern classical (whatever that is) so I wasn't entirely sure who to focus on! I ended up going with Peter, Paul and Mary since I grew up near Paul Stookey's summer home in Maine. I don't know much of their music outside of Puff the Magic Dragon and I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane but it's a folk group so - win.

I only came up with three sketches for this:

1) Image of Peter, Paul and Mary (early or later - not sure yet).
2) Three mic stands on a stage
3) Their records
4) Okay I didn't draw a fourth but as I write this I would be remiss if I didn't offer up a cover with some sort of animated dragon on it, made of smoke perhaps? Ha.

At any rate, I thought an appropriate title for a biography on the trio would be: "The best of...", which is also the name of their greatest hits album.

Now that I think of it, "The best of..." could connote that there are no "worst of" moments in their lengthy career... although I do like playing this as a sort of "greatest hits" biography. I dunno, what do you guys think?

Best,
AP
