For the vinyl edition
of Woody & Paul's album ‘Heroes and Zeros’, the band invited their favorite illustrators to design a cover. In the end, twenty-eight artists, both amateur and professional, participated in the project. Each cover was screen printed by the band. The project is a reaction to the soulless and anonymous nature of mass production. It was also intended to reflect the band’s DIY ethic and alternative sound. One sleeve resembles a target used in shooting practice. On closer inspection, it becomes clear that both the sleeve and the record inside are sporting a bullet hole.
The ‘Heroes and Zeros’ project was published by Thames and Hudson in the book Collector's Edition: Innovative Packaging and Graphics by Stuart Tolley in 2014.
