‘Asshat on a flute’ seems to mean something different to an art director than it means to a human being. Being a human being, though, I know not what that difference is.

As if the millionth reprise of Merrily We Roll Along wasn’t driving him to enough distraction, here comes Rod Hull and Emu.

Everyone at the party dreaded the moment when David Hasselhoff would get drunk and play the “Knight Rider” theme on his flute.

This cover is a little more than kin and a little less than kind. And they are Hamlet (in his insane phase) and Claudius. And it isn’t going to end well.

‘Good religious fiction in that it is fiction about a religion that is not Christianity though there are ties. It isn’t a book written to be fiction in a Christian world.’
I do believe this explains the fellow’s expression.

I can say nothing about the musician’s clear lack of talent with his recorder that has not already been said, save for this: the bearded man looks about ready to contemplate murdering him.

Tuesday Evening Q&A at Unknown Artist Institute:
Q: My child just shat all over the top half of my canvas, and the deadline is in eight minutes! What should I do?
A: Turn that frown upside-down, and turn that turd into a bird!

Mostly these covers make me go WTF.
This one made me laugh.
And cringe, for I know how the chap down right feels. It would certainly not encourage me to buy the book, because every time I looked at it, I’d hear phantom terrible pennywhistle noises (but I repeat myself). It is not enchanting in the way blurb writer meant, more in the curses are enchantments way.
@THX (8): exactly.

Never, EVER play “What Does The Fox Say” on a flute.

@AR: the last three words of your statement are superfluous.

“This is a pain that doesn’t end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some duder gave me a pain up here not knowing that I ache and he’ll continue playing crap just to cause a pain that doesn’t….”

@DSWBT: too true. Heck, the last 3 words of his statement at #10 could also be superfluous. Or everything following “drunk”.

Man in the background: “You WILL hear my recorder song! You will!”
Man in the foreground: “Arrrrggg! Don’t even dream of telling people you’re one of my kin!”
Love this cover…such intense eyes on that musician…

Family reunions are so fraught, what with the obnoxious kids and the grumpy old uncles.

Ian Anderson never reacted well to high school Jethro Tull cover bands. The background however looks like a bungled jungle.

If this is the “White Bird of Kinship” series, why is the bird not at all white?
This reminds me of Lee Moyer’s re-creations. What fun we had.
@JJYoyo: GSS.
