I know we've had threads like this somewhere in the past, but I can't be bothered to use the search function.
Besides, a truly spectacular mess such as this debacle

deserves a thread of its own.

Amazingly, Brooke has actually managed to outdo her father for terrible cover art. So I guess she's got that going for her...

Pretty silly looking if you ask me.

what the fuck are you talking about this is the best album cover.

every album cover that is not this one is doing it wrong.

Sadly these are the only two images by the absolute masters of record design Pen & Pixel that I could find easily (for some reason I can't get an image location to download them off the site). You can see possibly even better ones on their site, Mr. Stinky, Lil Pimp 'N' and Jigga Red are of particular note. They are truly unassailable.

A: It was a win-win situation for both the company and the artist…

S: Correct. Exactly. And then it just started topping itself, so you would put out a album with, let’s say, one Bentley, one Ferrari, three pitbulls and two hoes… Well, the next guy comes up, he’s like “I want six hoes, five Bentleys !” and you can see how it just exploded into the over-the-topness that occurred.

I used to think that was unique and cool.

That interview makes it clear that the Pen & Pixel who own that website are not the Pen & Pixel responsible for Big Bear's album cover.

True, it's a shame the originals aren't still around, pumping out the photoshopped masterpieces. The guy who's taken over the name is at least keeping the aesthetic alive. I found the blog they mention that has an enormous amount of Pen & Pixel classics, it's pretty stunning to wade through: http://ffm713.skyrock.com/

look at the area around the coffin-shaped hole and try to think of anything other than "badly trimmed pubic area."


and then there's this, the vinyl version of NOFX's "Heavy Petting Zoo," entitled "Eating Lamb."  It is pretty funny though...

I hope the dude at the airbrush kiosk in Brooke's mall got a nice commission for his work.

[Inlander]

Yeah, he's really managed to highlight her ribs nicely.
