    A young lady getting ready to go to a costume party was suddenly startled by a rustling of feathers, and turns to see that she's about to get attacked by a raven.

    Whats up with the wrinkled skin, first noticed on the ass but its everywhere like the arms etc? Thought it was cottage cheese cellulite but maybe something more sinister?

    Probably just from resizing a lossy jpg.
    Take a look at the biggest one out there:

    I think the artist spent so much time on perfecting the curve and texture of her lower butt-curve and inner thighs he ran out of time for the rest.

    Hi guys,

    The girl on that album cover appears to have “cottage cheese” skin because (everything you see here) was hand-painted, she does not exist in real life.
    NO use of Photoshop software etc was used in producing the album cover. I know this because I painted that.
    This album comes in a Gatefold Digipack with a 16 page booklet.

    Life is too short to be Grumpy, it’s ok if you don’t like it, I understand and really don’t mind. Let’s not be silly, People buy whatever they want and I too believe that one prior to purchasing an album will give it a listen first.
    Give it a spin, you guys might like it.
    This album, CORVUS STONE II, is currently positioned at number two TOP 2014 Album Releases in Progarchives.

    Hugs to all you, GRUMPIES

    and the only reason it is so high on PA's list is because there's a sexy looking lady in lingerie wearing a plague masque. not criticizing the music, as I never heard Corvus Stone, but if it contained, say, me in lingerie (stop screaming), nobody would touch the thing. The only way it could get number one there is if Steve Wilson was involved in it.

    Every time she puts that record on (watch the label) she slowly turns into a raven. Or something like that (maybe a confused female Dorian Gray?).

    Totally OT, but whatever.

    You made me think of something that happened way BITD in high school.

    I can't remember the class but if I looked I could get that, no matter, but I do remember the room itself. There were two Mormons, guy and a girl, and they were into each other if not bf and gf. I sat two aisles over from them and watched them repeatedly exchange these albums and one of the reasons this stands out is the album names. Almost as original as the first four Led Zeppelin albums were Zapp, Zapp II, Zapp III etc. I still to this day have no idea about Zapp but I thought it odd that these Mormons were listening to what I thought would be either '70's R&B or '80's, um whatever.

    I just thought that particular religion would frown upon that but at the time I knew nothing about LDS except they were almost all white.

    Anyway, somehow the guy ended up sitting next to me one day and I had my Iron Maiden # of the Beast shirt on and he told me, matter of factly, that listening to NOTB backwards would summon a demon.

    I'm pretty sure I actually paid attention in class and didn't reply because there really was nothing I could have said.

    I'm positive I don't ever care to hear Zapp but someday when I get a turntable I may play NOTB backwards and see what happens. Maybe I can summon the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some such.

    I think if you play their stuff backwards, you summon Lionel Ritchie.

    I used to work with a guy who was a recently Born-Again Christian. He was also wound so tight that it seemed he'd definitely snap one day - don't know if he did. Anyway, one day he was sitting at my desk because we were working on something together, and he noticed a postcard I had pinned on the cubicle wall, with the artwork from the cover of Marillion's "Brave" album. He said to me "That's evil!" I just sort of looked at him, and he said "You're going to hell."

    This was in NYC, the guy was young, it was a financial firm and this guy was the guy who went to trade shows and demoed the company's financial applications. Pretty damned weird, IMO. Yeah, she looks depressed or whatever, but does this look that evil?

    What is going on is that they are trying to get you to buy the album because of the cover, duh!

    Love the nose mask. That's from the days of the Plague. Doctors wore them. They were filled with potpourri to mask the stench of death and to purify the air before the doctor breathed it in. You just don't see that kind of mask anymore. Wonder if the young lady was worried about the Plague?

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    It looks like it might have been done on a computer. Reminds me of that terrible Iron Maiden cover , Dance of Death.

    First thing I noticed was her booty. Nice, even with a little cottage cheese. At my age a little cottage cheese is okay.

    Here are a few phases of that, I censored the one without the French Knickers because I am didn't know if it was appropriate to post it on this site i.e. P.A. sensors all the album covers now even that famous one of Roxy Music of two women in lingerie.

    Hey Sonia you are a great artist. I was a graphic artist many years ago. That was my career path but it didn't work out. You're talented, funny, and beautiful. Welcome to PE.
