What a great idea. I've always been enthralled with album cover art. I once went to an art show titled, "The 100 Worst Album Covers of All Time." They were bad, but good, at the same time.
Ha! This reminds me of when I was younger and would make collages out of magazine cutouts. Except he's much wittier.

Clever clever clever! And at the end of the post I had a BIG smile on my face :))
Oh, this is really strange, which makes me really like it.
bahaha...these are so wacky!!! there is something so funny with the men and their woman legs.
very interesting. though it seems that he is copying a lot of work (as in using others' images I think), he does make a very valid point in his depictions. thank you again for introducing me to a new artist.

Oh goodness. If you can't tell, I'm a bit behind on reading your posts, but I have to say... These are amazing. So fucking cool. I wish that I had thought of something like this!! I will forever be looking for album covers to combine now.
Much love,
