My art is best of 2011 and is in “In The Art World” magazine.
Don Porcella’s art is considered one of the top three best album covers of 2011
The BEST ALBUM COVERS of 2011 (The Year-End Awards) January 21st, 2012. By Chris Moore: http://laptopsessions.com/archives/2178
1) Sky Full of Holes – Fountains of Wayne
2) The King of Limbs – Radiohead
3) Cloud Maintenance – Kevin Hearn (Don Porcella’s painting is the cover)
4) The Valley – Eisley
5) The Whole Love – Wilco
Even with digital releases, there are album covers. This seems to be the final facet of the artistry of the album that will survive into the next generation of music consumers, especially considering just how much we like colorful displays on our technology. Still, there’s something so much more gorgeous about a CD booklet or, even better, a vinyl LP. The five selections below – with an honorable mention thrown in because I couldn’t ignore it – are examples of the artists who still give attention to the complete package of their albums. It was a tight contest between the top three, and these are all albums worth checking out the next time you’re in a store that offers records, even if you’re only going to take a glance.
