Thanks for posting.
I do think that Jennings did some of the worst artwork of Prince's career though. Like almost everything post Warners, it looked cheaply done, and awful.
However I do quite like the cover for 3121, that was a rare exception.

No.

It fit perfectly with Prince's "Indy" releases.

From the heart and very colorful biggrin

I like the pop art aesthetic to it. Almost feels like graffiti or a mural.

It also reminds me of this:


Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Well I have to admid I agree with you.

But it was nice strolling through her site and see prince's 3121 face and logo's on busses and in the RIO in Vegas...

Indeed. You are faster than me. It also remininded of this. Like a total (modern) rip off...

By the way, this one done with David Lee Roth is far better to my taste. Less kitsch. wink
