Lance Underwood has earned himself the father of the year award by creating QT Album Covers, a blog dedicated to recreating famous albums with the help of his sons Taj and Amar. Some fathers and sons like to bond by playing catch or watching sports, but Underwood and his boys are a little more creative with their after-school activities.
The result is a whole lot of Photoshopped fun. The blog features remixed album art from legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Dr. Dre, Johnny Cash and Miles Davis, among others. With each cover, Underwood injects his sons into a little bit of music history.
These photos will surely become reminders of fond childhood memories for the boys. While most of us only have run-of-the-mill school photos, they can say they've starred in an entire collection of album art.
