We told you about Eddie Vedder's forthcoming solo album, and gave you the track, "Longing To Belong." Now, here comes the artwork, which is one of my favorites of the year so far. As you can see, the guy didn't make it while probably writing a book. Let that be a lesson to all of you aspiring novelists out there.
The artist that did the cover explained it this way on his website.
"The desk is covered with a collection of newspaper articles and cuttings that date back to the 1970s. Many of these have political significance, a number detail Grenada’s alignment with Cuba in the period immediately prior to the revolution. The work informs the rapid changes in communication between generations. Taking the form of a traditional correspondent, the lone figure becomes little more than a relic, a fossil in a lost word."
Look for the album May 31st.
