Your task as aspiring artists, graphic designers, or just people who love to create, is to use all of the above information about James, and even the picture (or “essence” of it) if you so see fit, to create a cover that represents all of these things. THE WINNING PIECE, CHOSEN BY THE NICEGUYS WILL BE THE OFFICIAL COVER FOR THE EP IN DIGITAL AND HARDCOPY RELEASE LATER THIS SUMMER, AND WILL RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR THE ARTWORK.
