The Art of the Cover Version

Animals by Jonathan Wilkinson

Artist Pete McKee has invited some of his favourite artists, designers, musicians, writers and illustrators to create their individual interpretation of a 12” album that they have a special affinity with. This could be a redrawing of the cover, an interpretation of the lyrics, or a pictorial representation of what the music means to the artist.

Contributors include musician Richard Hawley and fashion legend Sir Paul Smith.

The results can be seen at Pete's Sheffield gallery, A Month Of Sundays, Sheffield S11 8ZG between 11 September and 8 October. Artists that will be displaying their cover versions will be:
