I love the homespun, hand drawn, felt tip and ruler style of artwork found on so many backayard record covers, for example Coco Tea's "The Marshall" album, and so many others. Post your favourites and lets see some styles that deserve respect for their disregard of mass marketing gloss. Ghetto graphics gallery, seen?

Do you mean the sleeve art done by Wilfred Limonious? (i.e. Coco Tea's *The Marshall*) I know what you're saying about a lot of low-tech graphics on Jamaican LPs, but Limonious is a genius!

Exactly. Genius, because it comes from the heart and through the hand. That is what I was trying to say. That is why I said that this style of artwork is worth more than the most expensive pro graphics, because it is unique and personal.
