"I feel like Mike had a different title in mind before Bumbler, but I don’t quite remember what it was. It might have been Bumblebee? Either way, couple that with the chorus of, “Buzzing in my head, buzzing out my window,” and I was off and running with ideas for images.
I began the task of digging through my piles of vintage magazines and looking for any cool images related to bees and buildings. I found both the beekeeper and the full page building image in the same sitting. I pieced them together and snapped a photo with my phone and texted it to Mike. He liked it.
I thought, that’s too easy, and told him I was going to work on it a bit more. I found more people and tried to add them, but both Mike and I felt like the first image was perfect.
I even scanned both images into the computer, as I typically would for an album cover and layout, but it didn’t look right. There was just something about the way the phone had captured it with the first photo. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it felt right and we stuck with it."
