Here's a new spin on the popular "Where's Blooby?" (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=4513.msg54064#msg54064) topic which was started by Migs last September. This time, let's add Blooby to classic album covers.
Use any graphics program you like. I use the GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) which comes with Linux. There is also a free Windows version (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/). You can find album covers at Google Images (http://images.google.com) as well as several other sites. And here's the Blooby image with a transparent background:

Let's have some fun!
This one's from the original "Where's Blooby?" topic.

It's like you looked into my past. I'm sure the majority of the time I was either staring at the Sears catalog "intimate apparel" section or the very cleavage with which I am fiddling on this album cover.
Now that's art.
Speaking of art, the black and white looks great in the U2 cover.
I have to get a digital photo frame for all of these. Priceless.

Text is a bit tricky if you're trying to duplicate an existing font. I usually copy individual letters as graphics and move them into the desired order. When the needed letters don't exist, I take a similar letter and modify it to suit. For example, the 'B' in my Houses of the Blooby (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=6671.msg135485#msg135485) cover was made by copying a 'P' and part of a 'D', then resizing them and pasting them together, followed by a bit of final touch-up.

The whole thing is actually a 2 foot tall voodoo doll a media specialist made of me back when I was teaching. The Worf head is actually a Shakespeare pin, and the submarine is a label that reads "Wacky Mr. J."

I always thought Worf looked a lot like Billy Shakespeare.
