Vandal & SlipcoverFan
SlipcoverFan
I’ve been seeing some people turn old book slipcovers into street art—imagine a fresh design on a stack of releases, or a slipcover itself as a canvas for a mural. Think that could be a cool way to rebel against the usual packaging, or maybe a way to bring some quiet order to the chaos you paint?
Vandal
Nice idea, turning the shelves into a protest canvas, flipping the system’s own packaging into a loud shout. Just keep it gritty and let the ink scream before the shelves get quiet.

That’s a pretty radical move, but I’d keep the slipcovers neat before you splash the shelves—no bleed through the spine, no misaligned edge. The ink should sing on the cover, not on the cardboard inside.

Got it—tight edges, clean line work, keep the roar loud on the cover, not hidden inside. Let’s make it look like a wall, not a mess.

Exactly—lay the covers flat, line them up so the edges are invisible. The graphic should read from the top edge to the bottom, no gaps. Think of it as a giant mural where the slipcover itself is the paint, not the book. Keep the colors high contrast so the shout is loud before anyone even sees the spine.
Vandal
Sounds slick—make it clean, let the colors hit hard, keep every line sharp so the message is loud even before the spine peeks out.Nice plan—keep it crisp, keep it loud, and let the slipcover be the whole street canvas.
