I like Cages. That used to be a big thing among critics but no one talks about it these days.

It looks like a combination of different photoshop brushes, textures and photos. It just looks really mediocre to me.

I'll never get this, you obviously love his work, and he is well known in the industry for said work, why are you seeking the validation that you have "good" tastes?

He did the variant covers, Williams did the regular covers.

I love Dave McKean's art for its photo surrealism. On that note, I love Brendan McCarthy's art for its cartoon-like acid-trip aesthetics.

Pic is example of Brendan McCarthy art.
