I was watching a series about the Renaissance today, and marvelling at how incredible these artists all were, thinking, "Huh! The best I could do would be to paint a stickman!"
And so was an idea born, which probably should never have seen the light of day.
But anyway... look at the crude representation of a famous album cover below. Do you recognise it? (Obviously any wording, such as title, artist etc has not been included).

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aw! What gave it away? :laughing:

hmm I'm stumped on this one
(joking of course)
I have to say, your stickman/woman art is a whole lot better than mine, Lexi!
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, 1998 studio album by Neutral Milk Hotel

Correct!
Another easy one, but tried to do something without the entire figure in the shot.

Hospice by Antlers?
No but you're on the right track conceptually.

Is it Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedys?

Absolutely right! (I traced the actual album cover and I'd hoped the varying line weight would give it away.)
:)
One more before Christmas?

Seriously? Nobody gets it? Are my drawing skills that... bad?
I'm completely stumped on that one, TH. Give us a hint maybe?
It is admittedly hard to convey with stick figures. The figure is female, if that helps, and the album has a link to Sunday, though not any Sunday the Church would have you link it with.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath?

I chose the album before I realized how obvious it may or may not be lol
^Public Enemy -
It Takes a Nation of a Million...? My guess without looking up the album at least
@Trollheart Huh, I never would have guessed that, at least not before the hint. Your colour pallette was so light and carefree compared to the actual cover so I couldn't stop thinking about Eno's
Another Green World album even though I knew it wasn't that

Hey, I never said I was a fuckin' artist! :laughing: Other than a piss artist, that is. Look, if it worked for Lawrie...
:shycouch:
True though: it didn't so much convey the sense of doom and dread that the cover of that album does, did it? Not so much
Black Sabbath as
Slightly-off-colour Sabbath!
Now that I look at it, it's more like someone waiting for a bus outside their house than lurking in the shadows with malevolent intent. While waiting for a bus outside their house. :laughing: :laughing:
