spooks this is a very very tricky thing and has the potential for a harsh backlash. One the one hand it is probably a very accurate description of the events but look at this from the point of view of the company that charged you with the task of doing the illustrations, they could view it as an attempt to burn bridges with them.
Its reads pretty much as 'Heres the project, I didn't like working on it, no one listened to me, I knew better but the art director was a tool with no sense of style nor knowledge of the industry, but fuck it I did it and if anyone asks my other ideas were better'. If the art director that was in charge reads this you can pretty much kiss goodbye to the client.
Where as a more diplomatic approach would be to say 'after much debate, this was the direction chosen by the band/art director and I did it to the best of my abilities'.
