The Ephemerist

I don’t know if this CD cover illustration by Patrick McDonnell ever was actually used, but I sure hope so.

On the other hand, for classical CD covers by cartoonists, check out the Classical Bytes collection by Deutsche Grammophon, which features artwork by Peter Kupperman, Richard Sala, James Sturm, Lauren Weinstein and others.

Update - it turns out to be a real record, and it’s even for sale on Amazon, along with a similar recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Pachelbel’s Canon. (thanks, Selina !)
