Ron English x Chris Brown – F.A.M.E. Album Cover

Posted by sleepboy, March 24, 2011

The new Chris Brown album F.A.M.E.’s cover is out and it features the art of Ron English (featured). Now we know what they were talking about when they were spotted having dinner together several months ago with Chris sporting a tattoo of Ron’s art on his arm. No telling if this will help turn the disgraced R&B singer’s career around, but what we do know is this is the not the first (see Ron’s Slash cover) or last album cover Ron will be working on. […]

George Condo x Kanye West Cover Art

Posted by sleepboy, July 6, 2010

We had mentioned previously that an artist we were impressed with from this year’s Art Basel – Switzerland, George Condo, had recently worked with Kanye West on the cover art of his new single “Power.” Here is the actual image that shows the decapitated head of a big-mouthed rapper with a sword through it, perhaps a nod at some self-awareness. Another image (seen after the jump) rumored to be the actual future album cover takes this even further showing Kanye with four mouths.

Posted by sleepboy, May 21, 2010

Jeff Soto (interviewed) recently shared a project he has been working on – a Pearl Jam poster for a concert that played yesterday at the Madison Square Garden. He also nicely summarized his process for creating a screen print for those who are interested.. The print looks to be only an edition of 100 so email [email protected] if you would like to eventually get your hands on one of these. More pics after the jump…

Posted by sleepboy, April 7, 2010

Off the heels of news that D*Face designed Christina Aguilera’s new album cover comes more news that Ron English (featured) designed the album cover for Slash’s (of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fame) solo album. The album, entitled “R & FN’ R” features a skull and crossbones with a hat, all rendered in classic English style. Also if you look closer, you can see Ron English “angels” worked into the paisley swirls in the background. More detailed views after the jump.

D*Face x Christina Aguilera “Bionic” Album Cover

Posted by sleepboy, March 28, 2010

Looks like the rumors of D*Face (interviewed) creating the cover for noted art collector and singer Christina Aguilera’s newest album were true. After hitting up the Oscars earlier this month, the winged one continues his forays into American pop culture with this “Bionic” album (scheduled for a June release). Although mostly devoid of classic D*Face imagery, on closer examination, you can see his name and logo there along with others important in Aguilera’s life like “Jordan” for her husband, “Mom” for her mother, and “Max” […]

Studio Visits/Preview: Eric White – “LP” @ Sloan Fine Art

Posted by sven, September 7, 2009

Last week, AM had the opportunity to drop by Eric White’s Brooklyn studio, and got a sneak peak of his space and some of the work for his upcoming exhibit “LP,” opening at Sloan Fine Art Sept. 12. As the title implies, the show will consist of White’s interpretations of classic album coversâ€”more specifically, those from before 1983, the year when he got his first CD player. At first glance, the 12″ paintings often look exactly like record sleeves from Fleetwood Mac, Talking Heads, Pink […]
