Here is a mock-up of what the next album will look like. It is a painting by 16th century Cretan artist Michail Damaskinos entitle, Holy Liturgy. He was a very influential Greek artist that spent a lot of time in Venice. His use of vibrant reds and lighter flesh tones in the post-Byzantine era was very unique for his day. Here's the wiki on him for anyone interested. I spent a week in Crete a couple years ago and it was a beautiful place with some very interesting characters. As I engaged a couple locals sitting next to me on a barstool in the local watering hole I realized this is the place where all the outlaws of the Europe end up.

Some will find this an odd choice for an album cover, and I guess it is, but my thinking is that we pray each week, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven", so this pictures the heavenly realm of worship depicted in Revelation 4, Isaiah 6, as well as other places, and it is a stimulus for me personally to pay tribute to my King whenever I reflect upon this.
