#TBT – International Album Cover Art Competition

changa May 21, 2020

It was not hard to come up with an idea for the cover of the Only Human album, but how could the idea of Love be captured on a cover?

The question was posed to artists around the world, resulting in the work of 10 spectacular finalists being selected by art industry experts and exhibited at the former Parish Gallery in Washington, DC. The winner: Tricia Boyce of California, whose brilliant multimedia work was photographed for the Love album.

Printed in a limited quantity, you may purchase the Love Fine Art Poster on the Music page (click here), and it will be shipped directly from our squeaky-clean office to your location.
