Illustrated Album Covers - Controversy by Prince

Inspired by the illustrations from classic children's books, this is one of 18 new illustrated album covers I put together for an art show in my hometown.

Prince’s fourth studio album, and first to firmly associate Prince with purple. Equal parts provocative and contemplative – covering politics, religion and (of course) sexuality across 8 amazing tracks.

All album covers were initially sketched in pencil, then scanned into Illustrator and then traced into a Live Paint vector image. Shading and strokes were added in Illustrator as well, using the amazing RetroSupply Co. Gouache Shader Brushes.
