Today via Facebook, Brooklyn's DIIV made a post calling out to fans requesting submissions of their own takes on the artwork for last year's debut album Oshin. The post states:
“Visual artists! Or non-visual artists! Or non-artists! We'd love to see yr creative re-imagining of our debut album artwork for potential use in the booklet of a future release, send any submissions to divebk@gmail.com – rly excited to see what we'll come up with… xo.”
