Album Cover of The Month



DMX: Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood
I've never been a big fan of DMX. In fact, i've only really liked maybe two of his recordings. However, he has one of the best album covers in rap music history. I say this because of the stark graphic quality... Does the hip-hop/rap genre need any more violence-related visuals? No. But the reason why i like this is because there's no violence presented on this cover yet it evokes visions of what could have possibly been a violent act...

Also, below is album cover i think was the designer's inspiration for the DMX cover. The Dwarves "Blood, Guts and Pussy" (see below). What feelings/moods do you think that cover evokes?

Gawker: Glaring Omissions: Trace Magazine

Glaring Omissions: Maybe We Should Care About 'Trace' Magazine, But Then Again, Maybe Not

"Do you guys care about TRACE magazine? It's been around for 10 years, started in the UK with Graham as the art director. (He wen t to the Face and now at Giant) They have a book out now 10 years of TRACE. They have a tv station in Africa and Europe and an ad agency TRUE in LA that does all the NIssan ads. Anyway, TRACE and Claude Grunitzky are notorious for not paying photographers, meanwhile he lives in a 1.8 million dollar place and is always traveling to Rio. So.. at the beginning of January the entire staff walked out after not being paid. They came back for a while after receiving their checks on the 15th of the month. Then in February they lost the office space in Soho so the entire staff has been working from home. In March half the staff quit. The publisher, executive editor, art director and the ad director quit. Do you guys care about Trace magazine?
