I still giggle at this one. "Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch"

That would be a 'super easy design' to change into a painting for your listening space!! Make it as big as you like and just fill it in with the colors you want,or leave it B&W.

This is so easy and fun. You could even paint the stereo companies 'logo' that you have. It's limitless.

Maybe go to the 'Dollar Tree' first, get a few small canvases premade, get some cheap brushes, get some paints and have fun. $10. Practice makes perfect.
Maybe do two. Then you're ready to paint - Go to an art store (like a Michaels).

Get the ''stuff" at the art store!

1. Canvas (pre-made) or 'build it yourself'!
If you build the canvas yourself (super easy) nail the canvas on the back of the streacher strips and NOT ON THE SIDES. The just paint the sides too - No picture frame required, or desired!!

2. Two Brushs - a good flat and good pointed - not the best, just a good one.

3. latex paint

4. and a pencil and good erasure.

That's it. Done. It's hanging on the wall already.

And after you do that one, guaranteed you will be doing some more!! :)

Thinking I must have posted it before, but couldn't find it. Lightforce's 2nd and final album "Mystical Thieves". After their break up, founder/bassist Steve Rowe founded Mortification doubling on vocals. The art work here is amazing!

Theres so much hidden and double/triple meaning stuff on that cover, its mind boggling.

RUSH album covers are always a treasure of creativity.

Hugh Syme and Neil Peart were incredibly creative with them with a love of hidden meaning and always a little “tongue in cheek” fun.

A lot to take in. Same can be said for the album I posted just above yours.
 
I've always found Korn's Follow The Leader album cover to be quite impactful. Perhaps related to nostalgia, but Todd McFarlane (illustrator of Spawn) did the cover, and I know for many it left long-lasting impressions, albeit not particularly unusual.

I would say for the '60's this was very creative. Not only that but it helped the album to sell over 6 million copies while it spent 8 weeks at number 1, 61 weeks in the top ten, and 141 weeks in the top 40.
