About a month ago, we asked for volunteers to tackle a daunting task: recreate our album covers in Microsoft Paint. No small feat. Well, you all rose to the challenge beautifully. You can see the results of all that work right here.

But the cream of the crop has to be one of the last ones we got in by Karl Hutchison of Portland, Oregon. Karl fired up the ole MS Paint and decided to take one what is quite possibly the most complex album cover in our repertoire, the very nearly released BQE from Sufjan Stevens. You can see a larger version right here. And you should, because it is absolutely amazing. Karl, a BQE super-incredible-pixelriffic prize package is on its way to you. 

Thank you Karl and to everyone who entered. We’ll be closing the doors on this little promotion but if you want to squeeze in an album cover this weekend or somehow outdo Karl and tackle Land of a Thousand Rappers, we won’t say no.
