In these kind of threads nobody talks about him but he's the guy who made all the wonderful artwork for KC's last albums (The Power to Believe and all the lives you get from the fanclub). I really love his style. It's original. Most artist drawing progressive album art tend to imitate Roger Dean. Crook's art is really different.


So that's his name...
I've always wanted to know who did those interesting and excellent works of art. Congrats for his artworks






The most elabrate artwork ever created:

And here is one of my personal favorites from my fav. band:

Listen to the album and watch the cover art. It will take your breath away

You weren't missing anything.  It was Eric Carmen's "Tonight You're Mine".

This would have made a great Triumph album cover.

How true, CD's just don't do it for me. My turntable still is an integral part of my stereo system. I love listening to my 70's progressive collection with the album in my hand.

As for favourite album cover? There were so many!

In November 1991, Rolling Stone magazine surveyed a panel of distinguished art directors, designers, photographers and editors for an admittedly highly subjective list of the 100 greatest album covers of all time

# 93 on their list?
