It definitely gave us both the creeps and laughs just because we hadn\u2019t had Lucy for very long, maybe a month or two. This ended up solidifying how her personality would be and just how great of a cat she is. Her being extra weird, creepy and off-putting in this picture was the biggest factor in choosing this to be able to convey just the heaviness and thick atmosphere of the EP.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/88C95147-2280-44D5-B8AD-6E62A2DA1BFB.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-824bedcc7b6f27d351e12a991b1c9a10\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(254,205,165) 0%,rgb(162,57,57) 31%,rgb(254,45,45) 74%,rgb(107,0,62) 100%);font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">This was more of a random picture of Lucy, most are, where she was just looking cozy and adorable. This wasn\u2019t supposed to be the cover for this album, however. When it was announced that Steam Boat Willy was now public domain I thought about using that on an album cover\u2014but tweaked\u2014entitled the Steamboat Sessions but I decided against it and renamed it to what it is now. Then I essentially landed on this picture of Lucy that I felt best encompassed what I was looking for with the change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0709-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2d94cc76d6b9e454fe6932163d740402\" style=\"background:radial-gradient(rgb(255,203,112) 0%,rgb(199,81,192) 0%,rgb(179,29,242) 63%,rgb(65,88,208) 97%);font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">Another random picture of Lucy but this time being silly.

This, here, is when we were playing together around when she developed a habit of yanking on the string whenever her and I would play together\u2014almost like tug-of-war. I took this picture for Angie since she wasn\u2019t around and Lucy being the diva she is, can be difficult when she plays cos she will only play so long with people. I chose this picture for the album because of that as well as this album was a fun album and I really wanted to convey that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wendysnoisenook.noblogs.org\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_0707-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-623ec7dd4ba877fdd5201522e5203aa7\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(238,238,238) 0%,rgb(5,3,3) 17%,rgb(147,154,162) 100%);font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">First cover I got a little more exploratory with by cutting and combining a picture of Lucy with another one. I don\u2019t remember where it came from other than Lucy was definitely yawning and this was a perfect capture.
