By Mike Goldstein, AlbumCoverHallofFame.com
Summer marches on. After driving by the area in downtown Chicago where the annual Lollapalooza music event is being held (making motoring down Lake Shore Drive extra fun) and seeing the happy crowds enjoying the performances/shenanigans taking place there (although, with ticket prices starting at $130 for a one-day general admission pass and going up to $4200 for a 4-day “platinum pass”, which gets you “access to the luxurious, climate-controlled North & South Platinum Lounges featuring signature cocktails, craft beer, champagne, wine and curated culinary offerings; premium viewing areas in front of five stages; access to on-stage viewing at the North & South main stages; complete access to the VIP Lolla Lounges, including the new stage featuring performances by Lolla artists” and, my favorite perk, “golf cart transportation between the Platinum Festival entrance, Lounges, and front-of-stage viewing areas” – I mean, who can walk after all of that champagne and “curated culinary offerings”? – this is one fest I’ll have to live without), it reminds me that there are simpler and no-less-enjoyable ways to spend a few minutes of your time, such as reviewing this month’s easy-to-digest run-down of all of the album cover artist/art-related news I think might be worth your time investigating.
And so, for your weekend reading pleasure – Whether you’re escaping the heat, the rain and flooding or any of the other plagues that seem to have been visited upon us lately, I do hope that you’ll take a few minute break from your day-to-day activities and catch up with the nearly-monthly Album Cover Artist and Art-related news summary and update I’ve written, which included previews for August and a bit into the Fall as well. In addition to the details of these current/ongoing/just-closed shows (over a dozen, all over the world!), you’ll also find interesting tidbits about new interviews and in-depth articles on a variety of subjects, including news about the portfolio of a photographer in Southern California whose created some magically-delicious underwater sets for his album artwork. So, grab your favorite viewing device, a healthy snack and favorite beverage, and commence forthwith on this month’s journey –
