We Made a Band

Made by Kristen Smith

After much discussion, we determined that each one of us has a musical history. Jeremy has played the trombone since high school, Raymond played the saxophone and clarinet prior to coming to CMU, and Kristen has played the piano for fifteen years. We also learned that Jeremy and Raymond thoroughly love playing video games-- Super Smash Bros. and Pokemon respectively. Kristen, on the other hand, likes to draw in her free time, and is fascinated with paradox illusions. We decided that the best way to combine these traits was to make an album cover for a hypothetical band-- should we choose to make one. Jeremy’s video game character of choice, Ness, is rockin' out on the trombone. Similarly, Raymond’s chosen character, Squirtle, is jammin' on the saxophone. Kristen’s love of art and paradoxes are depicted as well by a drawing of a hand drawing a hand drawing the album cover. Naturally, if we decided to take our band on the road, we would instantly become internationally famous. However, we reluctantly decided to put our rock star dreams aside in order to continue being overly-stressed students at Carnegie Mellon.
