Album Cover Hall of Fame - Album Cover Art Interviews and News

Album Cover Hall of Fame's Album Cover Art and Artist News Summary For The Month Of October, 2016

It’s the first of November, 2016, with the elections here in the U.S. taking place a week from today and, if you’re like me, we’re all probably suffering from election-related anxiety. Wouldn’t it be great to have some good, positive, uplifting news for a change (besides the possibility of a Cubs World Series win looming large – sorry if I’ve offended anyone in the Cleveland area, but we’ve had to wait 40 more years than you have for a World Series win!)? Well, with today’s summary of the most-recent news in the world of album cover artists and the wonderful products they’re creating for us fans and collectors of the genre, I believe that you’ll find enough inspiration to see you through whatever comes our way.

This month’s summary, while a little light with regards to sales/auction-related news, still provides us with ample proof that the people that make our favorite album imagery continue to contribute quite regularly to the news cycle, adding items of interest and fascination to the ongoing stream of articles, interviews, museum and gallery show information and the like on a wide range of related topics. Enjoy the read and let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Announcing the 2016 Inductees into the Album Cover Hall of Fame

 

It's that time again, folks! "What time?" you ask - time for our announcement of this year's class of inductees to the Album Cover Hall of Fame!

This latest class of honorees in the 6 major categories - as voted on by a world-wide panel of music, art and marketing experts in the area of album cover art & packaging - represents the "who's who" of creative and production talent, with many recognized names from the fine art and design world.

Here's a link to the 2016 Inductee Intro page that's now up on the ACHOF site - https://albumcoverhalloffame.wordpress.com/achof-class-of-2016-inductee-intro-page/

Very exciting to see names such as Roberta Bayley, Brian Griffin, Dave McKean, Stan Evenson, Paul Whitehead, Laura Lipuma-Nash, Jeri & John Heiden, Vaughan Oliver and Roland Young included in this year's list, but each inductee's impressive list of accomplishments has served to entertain and impress us all, so let's give them all a hand and kudos for jobs well done.

Please share this info with everyone you know who might be a fan of great album cover art and, of course, your comments and feedback are quite welcome.
