Craig Butler's Tom Petty
With full support from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (who by the way asked gonegator.com the Todd Rundgren question a few weeks ago), graphic designer Craig Butler and music archivist Michael Ochs launched a quirky but mind-blowing project: "The Greatest Album Covers That Never Were."
They convinced 100 long-established designers to create hypothetical album covers for their favorite recording artists. The show originally debuted at the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and now a portion of it runs in the Natalie and James Thompson Gallery at San Jose State University.
blah ... blah ... blah...
What's cool is that "graphic designer" Craig Butler, who originally designed Frank Zappa's 200 Motels album cover (Some Beach Boys and Byrds too!), designed a Tom Petty one just for the show.
gonegator.com wasn't satisfied with this article. With a story like that and not be located anywhere near the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame OR San Jose, we had to see the picture! With our professional (don't try this at home) staff, we were able to find this one!
