Heavy Tapes Gallery Click for a closer look.

	Neil Campbell 'Teasel/Thistle'
	Aaron Dilloway 'Heavy' This art will always be known as being "almost too gross" for Aaron, who said those very words when he saw the art for the first time. An awesome example of a "rad fold out" style tape cover where the front is kind of weird and then it opens up to -- something horrible!
	Double Leopards 'Gematria' One of the greatest things about doing multiple tape sets in the vinyl boxes is that it allows Maya to make much larger drawings. This one is what I would call a "full color stasis style" drawing and it is populated by the strange characters of her mind. "Gematria" was very successful as a release due in no small part to the outstanding artwork.
	Double Leopards 'Tar Pit Tapes Volume 1' First Double Leopards tape on Heavy Tapes - one of the early models of the multicolor thematic style. A variation of this image was used in a Japanese Gallery show, for the Trees Are So Special gallery.

	Hive Mind 'Spectral Activation' Greh was an early example of an artist who agreed to do something for our label basically because he wanted Maya to do the artwork. This is one of the first tapes where Maya really used the title to generate her idea about the image. If I recall she said that this is what a Spectral Activation must look like.
	Hive Mind / Workbench 'Flashflood' Split LP This was created after a disaster of a cover was created in less than 15 minutes a few hours before we planned to first sell these, at No Fun 2005. Maya came to the rescue and imagined this piece -- which looks amazing in the printing, a glossy looking magazine type image.
	Magneticring 'Debris Magnetique'
	Description Coming Soon...
	MM & MB 'Notbook' This is the cover for the first Notbook, which came in a manilla clasp closed envelope with this image spray-glued on the front. It is a numbered edition of 80, and has over 30 pages of full color work, all selections from M&M's collaborative notebooks, four years in the making.
	Organs 'What it sounds like inside you...' A tape made at the height of productivity prior to the Workbench / Hive Mind tour. In a batch of 6 tapes, this one often gets comments on how weird the art is -- a creepy color scheme for sure, and a good example of the title inspiring the imagery.
	Religious Knives 'In Bed' Obviously the first rule of any Religious Knives art is: MORE KITTIES. They are everywhere in this one which makes it even better than it already is. Absolutely desolate color scheme, nauseating typography, and a true visual representation of our unending love.
	Damion Romero 'Birth Twin'

	Mike Shiflet 'Elaborate Palms' The first part of a double casette packaged in a "butterfly" style Norelco case. Shiflet sent us some instructions and visual inspirations for the artwork, which Maya thought were awesome - she used some of the motifs he suggested, and also created a fleshy network of palms and palms and generally invoked visually a lot of what Shiflet was trying to say musically and verbally. Looks truly great in its physical form, but is represented here pretty well too.
	Mike Shiflet 'Elaborate Palms' The second part of a double casette packaged in a "butterfly" style Norelco case. See above.
	Solvent People 'Ancient Vow' It is always nervewracking to make a package for someone whose visual work you respect as much as we respect Olson's. Maya obviously destroyed this one, using a cool bold typographic style, and splitting up the project name and tape name, which you have to fold the tape out to view. This is a simple yet kind of brutal tape, really Michigan in my opinion.
	White Rock 'Warm Cans' This artwork comes really close to showing what it is like to be at a White Rock jam in the Tar Pit after a few Warm Cans. I had to participate in a bit of visual interjection when, right before it was finished, I noted to Maya -- 'But there's no warm cans!' -- she added them. Along with intense strata of color, demons, and a mindblower to fold out of a casette shell.
	Two colors because it was for a "Seeking Stasis" set, and those have been that way since the first Heavy Tapes release. The new format often means some real complexity and almost always depicts a world away from a world away inside a magnet.
	I'm pretty sure this is Maya's favorite tape art she's done -- at least it was when it was done. Breasts squirting blue milk and other bizarre images mark a really "out" landscape. The patterns are also strange and set a frightening visual rhythm.
	The first tape in the "new style" which many people know Heavy Tapes by today. Many people tell me that this is their favorite one, and my response is always: "Where the hell did you see that?" The logo is bold and huge like the Solvent People tape from the same batch, and the color scheme is grotesque. Another beautiful tape, and truly the start of something special!
