Lyrics to a song off the New York Dolls album

I have been looking at some off the lyrics from the New York Dolls album and this one inspired me the most because i feel now everyone is having botox and tucks so they are changing their appearance and the song is called Frankenstein, they say Frankenstein is made from different humans, this is how i got my idea for my album cover with two pictures on the front one being a face with dots ready to have a tuck/botox, and the other one which will be after the tuck/botox.

Lyrics to Frankenstein :
Something must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time
Could they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I remember when you were jammin'
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothing you would eve understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
And when those plans they don't mix your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
Bud, you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
Oh, he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down

So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and demand
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
When asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go just down
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein

So now you're telling me
What everytime you can get down home
Well don't you know there's place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go
You know, when you don't expect nothing
You know, when you're not alone, you know you're not alone
Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time
Could you ever, could you ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How you don't know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking yu as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Wrong, could it be wrong
Baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
Gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

New York Dolls Original Album Cover





This is the album cover of the New York Dolls album, when I was looking at their album covers they was all pretty much the same it was just off them sitting around together. This seems boring to me as they could make it so it has something to do with the name of the album or make it a bit more interesting than them just sitting around.

Sketch four

For my final album cover idea, I came up with the idea of dressing a girl up so she looks like Barbie and the make up is the same too. In the photo I want to get the girl looking at the doll, to give the impression that how she wants to look.


Sketch Three

For my third album cover idea I came up with idea of having two pictures on the front one of a women with dots on her face as if she was bout to have a face lift and these was the bits she was having tucked. The second photo will be of the women after she has had her tuck/Botox so her face is smooth and has the plastic affect.


Sketch Two

My second idea that I had was to get a posh/well off girl to stand in the countryside around some trees like a forest so it looks like she is out off her comfort zone and it's a contrast to her typical style of living.


Sketch one

For my first idea I sketched a tall building with a young girl in front of the building but as if she was really tall too, so I might take more than one photo and put them together so that she is tall. To make her stand out and so that see didn't look really small against the building.

Digital Artists-Andy Potts

Andy Potts


I was looking on Andy's website at all his illustrations and I have chosen the best five which I like the most. 

I like this illustration of Andy's because I like the use of bright and vibrant colours. I also like the way its yellow around the sun where it is setting and then it fades to blue sky with pink clouds.

I like this illustration that Andy has created because it shows peoples day to day life and how technology is now evolved in everyones life which we could not do some of these things without them.

This illustration has inspired me because I really like the way the colours merge with the other colours, in some ways it's untidy but i feel this really works and it has a good affect on the overall photo. 


I like this photo of Andy's because of the colours he has used, he could have used bright colours to make the illustration look as if its during the day but he has used warm dark colours, so it looks as if they are dancing in a field at night.

I like this picture of Andy's because it says to me even tho it's dark/night time people are still full of energy and want to party. As there is a lot of colours going on where the people are standing.
