Working with iPod touch - Is there way to have every single song to have its own album art?

hey guys, I just got new iPod and imported all the songs. For my iTune, I manually added album arts for most of my songs. So I dragged the picture into one song and the whole album automatically has that picture in the album cover flow mode.
But when I play the songs on iTune, only the songs that I put the cover art on has the photo shown. Is there any way to get rest of the songs in the album to have a cover art shown?
Since I did the album art manually from Internet, It’s hard to find the same picture online sometimes. And I didn’t save the cover art into my computer either. Is there still a way to work w it?
Hey guys, thanks to the contribution. But I kind of forgot to mention, I listen to a lot of foreign songs, whose album arts are not usually in the iTune store database.
Tayler mentioned how you can copy and paste the picture, I would like some detailed explanation on that method. Thanks!

Read and judge for yourself, could these poems have been written by a 15, 16 year old?

NEVER BE PEACE (Written 8/8/07)
The only answer
To absolute peace
Is buried in war
Which brings terror to humanity!

If the world
Was bestowed
With absolute peace,
Yes, we shall have no conflicts

But abolished will the basic humane instinct or privilege
To revolt & question evil authority
As souls quietly perish
By men of evil hiding beneath the wings of harmony

For absolute peace
Won’t put good in men’s hearts
Rather, it would give them courage
To chase renegade,

Committing heinous crimes
In a world utopia
Where men hardly question, act
Nor shed a tear

Thus giving evil liberty
As world’s citizens delay to act
Leading the world into a pitfall
For they lack strength to heed the humanist call.

So to prevent this crisis,
The road
To absolute peace
Is hidden where humane hearts dread!

3RD Rock Valley(Written 1/4/08)

In the mare valley of wink,
I bore witness to the heavens close;
giant plates far from meek
assembled to one to trap the foe

For precious were us,
that his queen valley he gave
but our stabs of Corday
left her a dead Marat.

So with no linger of shame
that his queen we defame,
his heavens he closed with intent
the sham´er dwell in the mist she rot.

Then I un-winked
to see wrongs mounted on thy steed
to blasphemy in recoil for thy meed
by the tongues of thy deed,
soon to leave 3rd rock valley closed.

Tyrant (Written 12/20/07)
We sat them in the dark
Swallowed the key to knowledge,
Bounded them to home
To pluck the fruits we bore.

But as the tyrant made his mark
The world fell from sage,
And the one bounded to home
Handed knowledge, could bring back the days of yore.

The bounded did ask
But at a knock deliver the message,
Olympe’s head rolled home
For to rule wasn’t the rightful chore

But fear was behind the mask,
Fear for if knowledge
Did come,
The tyrant’s image would sore

For as virtue knows no knack
The world is due for change
Not by some,
But all who dwell in its core.

Ides of March (Written 1/5/08)
What shall I compare to thee?
Thou art fairest
All hearts faint at decree
Of thy name and ******.
Thou beam the top of happy hours
With smile worthy of regalia
Scent of rosy flowers
That linger in the farthest of Ithaca.
In thy eyes and words, thou love
But thy stare & words beguile
For men’s happy does thy love remove
Aching misery from every angle.
Beware her ambitions lay of harsh
For thy love lead the Ides of March

Bitter Blonde (Written 1/14/08)
The smile that bore the sun,
Bore the fruits of her anger,
While the rat that feast upon her corn
At peace she found and let linger.
The wishful greetings and praises
She buried as taunt,
In mist of amazing graces
For doom she fought,
Taking happy a foe
For constant were days of misery
Leaving bitter her soul
In strength, to fight days weary
But thy heart does bleed with cries
For happy, in bitter hours

Days of yore (Ain’t no love) (Written 1/21/08)
Feast upon the days of yore,
The screams you howled
The strikes upon your face
The tears you bled,
The ego that stumbled from grace
Leaving your soul at mirror sour

Aching for mercy,
But thou love his gaze,
So the strikes
Thou dismiss
As orthodox affection
Refusing echo, in fear of apostasy

But sick of the marks you bore,
Thou chased the dove,
Only to fall for the mask
Drawn by the wicks of love
So my arms you leave, but all I ask;
Feast upon the days of yore

Drunken Beauty (1/23/08)
At drunk equilibrium
Must’ve been my gaze
For thou looked queen
Regalia worthy of praise.
But as sheep be of wisdom
Sober my eyes found
And away with thy crown
My drunken gaze crowned
Leaving disgust at each sight
With pure ridicule at the pedestal
My eyes then dim-wit
Deemed hideous crystal.
At judgment, failing to realize
Some beauty drunk my eyes first!

M.L.K TRIBUTE (written 1/20/07)
Admired and adored as an African,
Before beslaved by
Crude consciences coasting.
Destroying divine dedication,
Especially extirpating everyone encouraging
Freedom, fighting furiously, fatally for fellow
Gentlemen granted God given
Happiness hindered heinously.
Instead, ignorant inked individuals
Jargonized justice, justifying
K.K.K killings knowingly,
Legally licensing liars.
Miraculously, minds maneuvered mimicking Minerva
Navigating Negroes neutering nonviolence.
Outcrying, organized obviously oppressed
Peoples, previously prisoned,
Questionably quarantined.
Relentlessly rumbled, raving, raging racists.
Slaved, successfully saved, silently slained
Telling true tales.
Undeniably united, U.S underhanded
Verbally vocalized vivid visions.
Would willing wine with wicked whites within
*Xeres.
Yielding youths yearning
ZION.

* A town in Australia famous for its wine.

The unorthodox die (Written 2/16/07)

“Great men hardly die peacefully.”- Charles Onyewuchi

In many minds
The world is better left
As it is,
Given the horrors of our past.

Thus men who push for change
Along with pioneers
With unorthodox
Thinking, practices and beliefs
Are most at risk
Of meeting an early grave.

For we as a society
Dread to stray
Away
From the norm- “our reality”

Which justifies why great figures
Like M.L.K, Jesus and Socrates
All met death,
For each either pushed for change
Or bore beliefs and ideals
Premature for their time.

Thence in an attempt to protect “reality”
We eliminate them,
Only to again ponder the good
Of walking the road they had envisioned.

B4 I go (Written 3/2/08)

Fly, Fly, Flay away to the heavens
Tell the skies to tear
And the stars
To fear

Leave of pot of gold
On the chick
And tear for me
Under the tree

Tap the drums of harmony
And dance the dance
Of misery
Missing no beat

Wear the eyes
Of the fortune teller
And tell me what thou see,
What thou see clear

Glare in the mirror of fate
And plead for peace,
Tell the prince of the night
Not to dagger the yearns of the old

Alas, tell the mother
That she did fine
And the heavens do thank
The feast of greatness they wine….

Realism art, and unrealism [[cartoon]]?

I love art, painting and srawing, all of it. I tend to mostly do realism, and do it well but when it comes to drawing images in my mind, that’s a pain in the ***. Help?
Realism tips are always good too, but I’m pretty much set on that. =]]]
I just felt like adding details, to make the question show up as ‘new’ again.. heh.

Doing Business Overseas?

I made some art contacts in South Africa about a month ago. I am just starting to sell original paintings from around the world. How do I go about getting a letter of authenticity for each painting? How should the artist draft the letter?

Would massage therapy be too much for me?

I work with a lot of different art mediums and write all the time and have for years. I assume it’s because of this that I’ve had carpal tunnel a few times in my right wrist and seem to be slightly susceptible to it now. It takes a lot of stress for it to be full blown, but at times I can feel it coming on and have learned to stop what I’m doing and let it cool down.

I’ve been looking into massage therapy lately because I’ve been told I have very strong, and quite warm to the touch, hands. I’ve thought about going into the career before, but have only recently starting seriously looking into it. My wrist only tends to hurt when I put my full body weight (like pushups) on it or really overwork it. Do you think massage therapy would be too much?

What are the best art suppliers/supplies?

I pick up various mediums, and being an art student I can’t really afford to buy expensive products all the time. I like painting with oils, and using water-soluble pastels.

Making a latex batgirl mask and other accessories?

I am going to get a head start on my halloween costume. A couple questions…

Can you add a colorant right into the latex? If so what do I use, and how much? Or is it best to paint it? If I paint it, can I just use a latex based paint or something cheap?

How much latex should I purchase? I have 2 16 fl oz things or this stuff

http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=gc0514

I’m making the mask, spikes on the arms, and body armor in latex, how much more latex will I need?

For the lifecast, can I just use plaster gause

http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=gc0027

It doesn’t need extreme detail, just be able to give me the general shape of my head and torso for the mask and armor. Will it be strong enough to be used as a mold and filled with plaster?
I know Pottery Plaster #1 is best for the mold that I fill with latex. Can I just use Plaster of Paris for the life cast? How much of plaster will I need?

Thanks guys!
