IMAGINARY BOOKS AND MAGAZINES COVERS
Imagine a world were these famous titles would not be songs but books, and Bob Dylan a Comic hero, or a novel writer... That is what some artists did, and the result is quite amazing.
1) THE PULP FICTION BOOK COVERS, by Todd ALCOTT: "To restate what should be obvious from the second, if not first glance, none of Alcott's titles are real. His aesthetically convincing mock-ups pay tribute to favorite songs by favorite artists: David Bowie, Talking Heads, Joy Division, Elvis Costello. The start of the school year finds him in a Dylan mood, rendering some of his best known hits in a variety of pulp genre formats".
2) THE RECORD BOOKS, by Christophe GOWANS: This is from Christophe Gowans' RECORD BOOKS. "Fast-paced 1958 thriller: a jilted train driver hi-jacks his New York subway train to exact revenge upon his love rival, only to threaten the life of his ex-lover. The last 30 pages are missing. Don’t know if she survives."
