Album Cover Inspiration

http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/assets/artwork01/Artists/Elvis-Costello/HRM-31280-02/Secret-Profane-and-Sugar-Cane-Cover-Art-Hi.jpg. This is the link to an album cover by Elvis Costello I first saw at Barnes and Noble. The album is called Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane. The album cover looks like a design you would see on a book of fairy tales. A crow with some sort of plant in its mouth is the focal point. There are vines in a circular motion with different scenes, none really related, embedded inside them like pictures in a picture frame. A creek of blood is the background. The drawings are not especially incredible, but they all have a consistent style. The album cover art probably depicts the seemingly random yet interrelated events of a person's life, which must be a theme Costello consistently expresses.
