Thanks guys, I am enjoying these.

 

Speaking of paperbacks, there was a set of Justice League of America books and the covers always reminded me of Alex Ross' work. Does anyone know if he did these covers? I remember seeing paintings that he did and they were very similar to the covers as well. On a side note if anyone did not read these, I have read the JLA and Flash one. They were excellent reads.

Vince Locke does album covers. I think exclusively for Cannibal Corpse.

 

Depends on how heavily involved in comics the artist has to be. Camilla D'errico does lots of stuff outside of comics, I first heard of her through her fine art.

For fans of the Goon, Eric Powell did the cover art for The Golden Age (a kinda scream metal band) album Carry the Torch.

Frazetta did Wolfmother:

 

Like Molly Hatchet, Wolfmother used a Frazetta image. But the art wasn't done specifically for the album.

Still cool that they thought enough of Frazetta's work that they used it to help sell albums. (I dig Wolfmother BTW (thumbs u )

They certainly look like Ross.

Dave Gibbons did the cover art to Kula Shaker's first album, K.

Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell was Corben... the follow-up album was Wrightson. There's a Byrds album with a BW Smith cover.

Berni Wrightson & Stephen King make a wonderful couple

Mike Kaluta has several album covers...

 

Danzig, Black Aria

 

Danzig, Danzig 4

 

I miss my Danzig, those were sold in the summer.

 

By the time 4 rolled around, the art on these was better than the music.

[TupennyConan]

Frazetta has done album covers,paperbacks and movie posters.

 

Flirtin with Disaster, Beatin the Odds & Original for Molly Hatchet.

 

FwD had the famous 'barbarian with exposed nad' cover painting by Frank.

John Romita, Sr. did some portraits of WAC officers which are in some sort of women's military museum in Washington.

 

Kinstler definitely did the Ford presidential portrait, and perhaps Bush 41 also.

Sheldon Moldoff created the Pillsbury Doughboy.

 

Actually it was Martin Nodell (thumbs u

Also, Lou Fine went on to have a great advertising career. Later on, in the 60's (?), an editor invited him to work again in comic-books and he had been gone so long from the medium that the story never saw print as the art was "lifeless". I know I read this recently but can't remember where and who had commissioned the work. Anyone remembers?

 

Edit: IIRC, I read that in Man of Rock, the Shelly bio of Joe Kubert and it was Joe I believe who had commissioned the story. I finished the bio 2 weeks ago, great read from cover to cover.
