Does anyone know the name of the cover artist who did the singles for "Around the World In A Day?"

Thanks,
Matt

Can't find their name - also not on the single sleeves!

U can find it in the galley here.....

You're so smart Mike

The alternate album cover by that other guy also looked nice ( more realistic) but Doug Hender´s version is better, IMO.

Do you have a picture of the alternate cover. I've never seen that...

Don´t know...have to look in my folders. It´s pretty much the same contents, just painted much more realisitically, a bit reminiscent of Salvador Dali.

I´ll look it up for you. I think it´s also in the org gallery.

Oh, really? Cool. Thanks!

Jim Warren was the original artist.

Here's the picture:

Heres what Jim had to say about being commissioned to do the pic for Prince...

"In 1985 I was contacted by Prince's management to do a painting in which little information was given, and I was not to talk about the little that I did know.

I was given a one page sheet with thirteen instructions on it such as, "...a fat man hugging a tiger," and "...two men with hair shorter on one side, playing the tambourine." After reading this I had more than a few questions but was simply told, "...use your imagination." So, I did.

I enjoyed the freedom I was given with this painting and felt that it made for a great collaboration between artist and musician. Halfway through the painting, I was told that Prince wanted to see it "First thing when he woke up" which was in Cincinnati, Ohio where he was in concert, even though the painting was not finished, and still wet.

So, being the dedicated artist that I am, I boxed it up, put it in the airplane in the seat next to mine, and we (the painting and I) went to Cincinnati. Two bodyguards came to my room and picked it up. The next day, it returned with simple instructions: "Finish it." I did and was told he loved it."

Does anyone know if he also did the related singles..."Pop Life," "Raspberry Beret," etc? They look similar, but I just want to make sure before I contact him.

I wonder what song this relates to...
probably none

Maybe Pussy Control was destined for the album!?!
