ALBUM COVERS BY FAMOUS ARTISTS

[RT Fan]

I came across this article on the website "Mental Floss", not sure if anyone had seen it, but I found it interesting. There are 3 additional mentions in the letters to the editor. Even I who know very little about "art" heard of half of these artists.

Joni Mitchell has done a number of her own album covers artwork, and she has quite a following in the art world, as well as her contributions to the music industry. "Turbulent Indigo" comes immediately to mind.

Brett Whiteley's Alchemy. I've seen this, it huge and full of interesting little details up close. In an interesting return of artistic favour, Brett Whiteley's studio space which has been left the way it was upon his death, has a few Dire Straits CDs in the studio music library.
