Every single one of the illustrations is a brilliant brooding exercise in evoking dread & doom.
I’d never seen his art before I picked up this book, but after an Earl E. Mayan internet odyssey I’m completely smitten
A collage painting with black and white cut out photos of human faces and a snarling Alsatian dog surrounding a white painted sheet ghost, all against a black and purple background made of paint drips suggesting a spooky wood, above which door shapes are scratched in black ink A collage painting in which a phot of two white men, one standing wearing a cowboy hat and crumpled shirt and trousers, the other squatting wearing preppy clothes and a sailor hat, are surrounded by an ominous purple painted background, above them a black and white painted skull, to their left a black white and grey painted area which is fairly abstract but suggests tv static intermixed with shadowy branches

Daily bunny no.3093 will not be stamped, filed or numbered!
Bunnies enact a scene from "The Prisoner", which one as an intimidating "Number Two" sitting in a cushy chair, holding an umbrella behind a futuristic control panel. The other bunny points at him as if offering a challenge, and a small dwarf rabbit offers tea. They are in the middle of a purple, spherical room.

"A typical day . . . "
In classic Cure style, work was mainly nocturnal. A typical day would begin with the band waking up, taking acid, going to the local pub for a few drinks until the hallucinations were manageable, tgen heading to the studio to record. "It was a pretty intense time," Lol told Record Collector. "We did a lot of recording at night. There wasn't much daylight, and I think that contributed to the atmosphere." On some nights, Smith was in too much of a "strange place" to function, leaving Tolhurst to tell Thornalley, "Maybe we won't record today, we'll go home & see you in a day or two ... " Somehow, from amid this mayhem, an album emerged.
