What it really needed was a single tear running from one of the windows. Though with the birds about, that could be mistaken for something else.

I like that his eyebrows are brick ledges, thus permitting a bird to perch thereupon. Logical, but strange.
Perhaps all prisons could be constructed along the same lines. The convicts inside would think they were just looking out of a window, but we passersby would know they were trapped inside a giant brick head.
This cover could also serve for two Harlan Ellison books: I HAVE NO MOUTH (BECAUSE THE BRICKLAYER OMITTED TO GIVE ME ONE) AND I MUST SCREAM; and DEATHBIRD STORIES.

To me it looks like the bird on his eye just won’t shut up. And he can’t tell it to stop talking to him!

At first glance I read the cover as “A Touch of Sturgeon.” And I was like “You know, I think I’ll just have the salmon instead.”

Anyways, you know what they say: A bird in the eye is worth two in the hair.

“I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” as interpreted by the bricklayers union.

Looking closely above the face, it appears as if not just the hair but the skull itself is made of birds.(birdhair,birdskull…birdbrain?) I can’t imagine how this relates to a story about one-night stand sexual encounters in America.

@Tom Noir: funnily enough, there is another Theodore Sturgeon book which IS called “A Touch of Sturgeon”:

Bird Hair and Prison Face. Together, they fight crime.

@Fred – I can’t tell if those are kids sitting at their feet or groupies… either way it doesn’t look very comfortable!

@David Cowie – That’s totally the line I should have gone with.

Sturgeon’s Law, mk. II: 95% of everything is brick.
This is also the first time a gentleman has said to a lady, ‘Excuse me! but my eyes are up HERE!’

My hair is birds, your criticism is invalid.

Bird with flower: “I think I look pretty dashing”

The artist was a time-traveler; the woman is Felicia Day.

The thing that really bothers me is there appears to be a rose growing out of her head….

Bird-hair-person looks like a young man to me. Pharaoh Boy of the Jay People?

Hmm. I was thinking Crystal Tipps and Alistair.

The Man in the Brick Mask. Take that Alexandre Dumas.

This title would make a great alternate title for this whole website.

A rejected design for ‘Another Brick In The Wall’, surely?
