Here's an image of the full artwork if you're interested (click to go to a larger version):

I'm a fan of everything Shag so I like everything he does. However, I'm only mildly a fan of SmashMouth. Here's a snippet from a recent interview with Shag where he talks about doing album covers. Of the 3 categories he mentions I would guess that this one falls into the last ($$$).

Q: Your art has been seen on concert flyers and CD covers from artists like Ursula 1000 to the Vandals how do ventures like this usually come about?

A: I get contacted by a lot of bands about doing their album covers. I either have to really like the music (as in the case of Ursula 1000) or respect the band and the band's body of work (like the Vandals). Occasionally, a band will come along and their record label will pay me enough that I don't care about the music or the band's history.
