Comment:

This was a Christmas present and is based in part on the slew of unexplained airship sightings that gripped the United States in the late 1800s. In this case, it's our airship, and we're charting a great curve taking us westward towards the Pacific.

The package was a hand-painted Burgopak dvd case with a "floating" collage on the front cover. The tracklisting was inkjetted onto leaf-laden rice paper and affixed to the pull panel.

Nice one. Reminds me of the whole cache of "outsider art" (and the accompanying stories/legend) of Charles Dellschau...
