Yeah, the graphic and title font have kind of a Ralph Steadman vibe going on. But then… just when you’re least expecting it… Oh, the horror, the horror!

Three different fonts and they’re all bad. And the art is horrible–I can’t even tell what it is. What is it? Looks low res too.

I want to say that is a very poorly drawn voodoo doll, and a skeleton hand with a possible shoulder blade. Though with the way it is distorted I think they were trying to do a above and below the water level look.

I like the art, but not as cover art. It’s not the kind of thing you paint if you want people to understand it.

The art is cool, though for a book cover you probably shouldn’t use something better suited to a psychological “what do you see?” test.
I see the St. Louis Arch blowing up, and a skeleton hand grabbing a policeman voodoo doll.
Hmmm…I love the title font and the overall grunginess of the art, but it’s too indistinct. And, yeah, it looks like a little policeman voodoo doll. Just ain’t right.

I agree. Title font is good. Art doesn’t belong on a book cover, unless its a book about art.
My problem (other than the psychological kinds) is with the hand. Three fingers? And is that thumb upside down and backwards, or just fucked up?
