Not only am I a major fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I've also been a distant admirer of Damien Hirst's work, so when I found out that he crafted this Red Hot Chili Peppers 'I'm With You' cover, I bestowed the honor of "Greatest Album Cover Art of 2011" unto the image you're currently staring at.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers 'I'm With You' cover features a fly on top of a pill with the words "I'm With You" printed on it. It's a little morbid in comparison to the album art and music we're normally used to from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I'm sure the music's going to be as stellar as their last offering.
Implications - High profile artists often collaborate with other media figures as it attracts mass public attention for both parties involved. Corporations can similarly collaborate with other companies as a publicity stunt to garner the attention of potential customers.
