Artist: Shape of Broad Minds
Album: Craft of the Lost Art
Album Art: EH Questionmark
One of the best hip hop album covers we’ve come across so far. A surreal brain/squid thing, beautifully drawn. The composition evokes a mandala vibe. What else is there to say, really? If you weren’t aware, EH Questionmark also did the art for another album we’re all familiar with:
