Also, I tried to reverse image search this to find the book it's from or whatever it's from. Just showed up as Mr. Bungle.

Please give sauce?

Strange that they used the original illustration for the Be Stiff EP but had to airbrush over it on the album. (Also how Rock Band 2 used the EP cover for Uncontrollable Urge instead)

>>68390952
Hell yeah, favorite album

>>68391812
I need to, it honestly hurts not knowing what's going on in that picture uncropped. what is he looking at? Eyeing his girlfriend? Threatening a man carving a fish? Posing for a reaction image?

I know some day someone will just randomly post it on 4chan or reddit or imgur, since thats basically how things work now, but I need to know

>>68391812
All we know is its an item one of the band members kept in his wallet for about 10 years

>>68391094

>The cover art was illustrated by Joe Heiner. According to an essay by Devo co-founder and bass guitarist Gerald Casale included on the Complete Truth About De-evolution DVD, the cover of their debut album is based on an image of the famous professional golfer Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodríguez that they had found on a golf strap. According to Casale, David Burnam, the manager of business affairs at their recording company Warner Bros., decided that the image could not be used because "he was a golf fan and felt we were making fun of Chi Chi." The band offered to contact Rodriguez personally but had time constraints, due to the forthcoming production of their album. The manager of the company's art department, Rick Serini, recommended an artist who could airbrush and alter the face of the picture, while lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh offered a picture he'd procured from a local newspaper that morphed the faces of U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. These ideas were later morphed with the original "Chi Chi" Rodriguez image to create the cover art of the album.[7]
>The band did eventually get Rodriguez's permission to use the original photograph. Since the "morphed" album sleeves were already in production by that time, Serini claimed it would cost the band $2,500 to halt production and reinstate the image intended originally by the band, which forced the band to keep the morphed version. According to Casale, "we were able to come out with something that by the corporate interference and misunderstanding of the business side of Warner Bros. Records, actually unwittingly produced something far more Devo than the original [image]."[7]
>The original cover illustration, with Rodriguez's face intact, turned up on the picture sleeve for the band's third single "Be Stiff".
