I'm lucky enough to be fb friends with LA Artist Lou Beach and saw in his posts that he's not long ago published a book called 420 Characters which, together with his collages, includes a collection of super-short stories he has written. He's done heaps of awesome album cover work for artists including Weather Report, The Police, YMO (below) and Madonna.

I always wanted to do an album cover and when I got my chance in 1986, for EMI and a band called The Radiators, I chose to go collage crazy...
