  1. Fantastic artist. I have always been enamored with the Cream album cover and still have the record in my collection. Until now I did not really pay attention to who did the art work on the cover. Now, to see some other work of his up here is fucking cool. Really had no idea it was the same guy! Thanks for my continuing education!
