#4: Ω XCVI - OMEGABYTE (2003)

My 96th album cover is my darkest, whereas the majority have a lot of gleaming white (usually from the paper it was drawn on!). Some, including myself, have called this my "Face Value" (Phil Collins) cover for obvious reasons, but I really just wanted to see how ominously I could photograph myself, as if coming out of the shadows. The self-photo shoot had me covering my face with gel so the light would glisten on my skin, and a red astronomical flashlight was the only light source used in this photo taken.....in a BATHROOM! This is my second cover to feature my face. An alternate - and better lit - photo from this session appears on the back cover. A unique red and black logo appears on the CD and inner CD tray.
