Full Sleeve Tattoo Idea for Your Next Ink

"THE SYMBOLISM CAME FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the original “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” BLACK SABBATH sleeve art illustrations by Drew Struzan. Color pencil & acrylic on board, 30"x40," c. 1973.

"My concept for this album was based on two color illustrations that were given to me on my confirmation day in 1955, that I still have to this day. They are from the 1700’s and depict an evil man and a good man both at the split second of their death. When I showed them to Drew and explained the idea -- well, these pieces speak for themselves."

-- ERNIE CEFALU (Creative Director)

"I created the album art for “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” in 1973. The theme was a good man dying and a bad man dying. Yes, I’m the guy in both versions. The symbolism came from the Book of Revelation. The 666 scared parents around the world!"

-- DREW STRUZAN (American artist/illustrator/painter)

HEY, KIDS! IT'S THE VELVET UNERGROUND!

OK, so the above image (the very top one) is totally new to me, and I had no idea that the illustration was even for a split second considered as a contender for sleeve art to the V.U.'s third studio LP -- Oh, man, this is some news to me, and it would've been so cute, kitsch, and funny all at once. Talk about a missed opportunity, am I right? DAMN!

Anyway, I was already familiar with the "kiddy" illustration from the concert poster for their 1968 Boston Tea Party performances, and again, it would've been waaay better than what we got as sleeve art to their self-titled 1969 LP. Even the "White Light...." sleeve art the year prior was uninspired and completely lifeless. Another all-black cover.

Proposed artwork for the third Velvet Underground album, designed by Steve Nelson.

“Loveless,” a studio album and sleeve concept by My Bloody Valentine

Sleeve front cover photography by Angus Cameron

Creation Records

⚜️ ARTWORK

Album artwork is one of the primary ways that musicians and visual artists are able to collaborate, and many iconic album covers are simultaneously iconic pieces of pop art. [2]

The “Loveless” album cover is a fine example of perfectly synchronized simplicity. The cover artwork is a photograph of a guitar taken by Angus Cameron, heavily distorted and obscured with the band’s name barely visible in the bottom left corner. It may seem unremarkable at first glance, but upon hearing the music it comes together in perfect harmony as a completed piece. [2]

The album is widely regarded as one of the best albums of the 1990’s for its groundbreaking guitar work, meticulous orchestration, and for generally laying the foundation of the shoegaze genre. [2]

Creation Records released “Loveless” on November 4, 1991. Pictured is the UK vinyl sleeve and label artwork.

“Heaven or Las Vegas,” a studio album by Cocteau Twins

Sleeve artwork by Paul West

⚜️ ARTWORK

4AD released “Heaven or Las Vegas” on September 17, 1990. Pictured is the UK CD artwork photographed by Andy Rumball and designed by Paul West. [1]

For the album’s front cover art, the band desired a visual representation that would "(capture) the ethereal,” according to guitarist Robin Guthrie. [1]

West, of the design studio Form, previously worked with Cocteau Twins on the cover for “Blue Bell Knoll.” West recruited Rumball, and the pair experimented with various materials in order to generate a "textural and otherworldly" effect. The final artwork is a long exposure of Christmas tree lights that were flicked against a color backdrop, with its typography produced by hand on an acetate overlay. Much of the original artwork was later destroyed in a flood. [1]
