Morbid Album Art

Damien Hirst Crafts The Red Hot Chili Peppers 'I'm With You' Cover

— July 6, 2011 — Art & Design
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.
Trend Themes
1. Collaborative Album Art - The collaboration of artists in creating album art offers a unique opportunity for disruption in the art and music industries.
2. Morbid Imagery - The use of morbid imagery in album art offers a new trend in the music industry, and there is potential for this to spill over into other industries.
3. Strategic Collaborations - Strategic collaborations between different industries could create unique and buzzy marketing campaigns for each of the companies involved.
Industry Implications
1. Music Industry - Collaborating with other artists and exploring new trends in imagery can create buzz and attract fans within the music industry.
2. Art Industry - Collaborating with musicians on album art presents a new revenue stream and exploration of new trends in imagery for the art industry.
3. Marketing Industry - Strategic collaborations between companies in different industries could create unique and buzzy marketing campaigns for each of the companies involved.
